Usability of Internet can be enhanced many folds if only it understands the
language we speak. Ubiquity is a plug-in for Firefox to do just that. It can be
downloaded and installed from http://tinyurl.com/5ectnw. Once installed, restart
your Firefox browser and press 'Ctrl + Space' for Windows or 'option + Space'
for Mac. Ubiquity enhances user experience by combining data from more than one
data source and integrating it into a single application. It makes this data
available through simple commands. For eg, to know the definition of a word on a
web page, select it, press 'Ctrl + Space' and type 'def' in Ubiquity window.
You'll get results instantly. Similarly, if you want to wiki any word, just
select it and type 'wiki'. The power of Ubiquity can be further enhanced by
writing or subscribing to new commands.
