Imagine if you could use a command line to simplify most of the tasks you need to use when browsing the web! Now it’s possible and I must say it’s fantastic. Mozilla Labs’ Ubiquity makes it possible. See the video below to see what Ubiquity can do.
During the last day the web has been abuzz about Mozilla Labs’ Ubiquity. It’s an addon for Firefox that can help you streamline how you get things done on the web. In the example above, they show constructing an email with a map and reviews using mostly keyboard driven input. The addon is quick to install and we think you’ll find it saving you a lot of time on tasks you’d normally hit the search box for. In the popup, you can do quick Wikipedia lookups, define words, translate, perform calculations, and many other operations. You can email a page to someone by just typing three words. The best part is: anyone can write a command that will expand Ubiquity’s function. Greasemonkey helped fix broken websites and we think Ubiquity will help make interactions between sites much easier. We can’t wait to see what clever uses people come up with.

PS - Thanks to my friend Odracir for pointing me this.
Downloading and installing this now, looks very intuitive even in its early stages. Hope to see this progress rapidly.
it looks interesting. I’m gonna download and try
This plugin is awesome. I’m loving it. It really simplifies a lot of things you normally perform while web surfing. I think in the future they will add more functions and commands.
I tried it these few days, I found it’s useful even though I didn’t learn all of command yet.
Love it.
