Has anyone been playing with Ubiquity? It is kind of a command-line for Firefox, a bit like Quicksilver for the mac... It only works on Firefox 3, but looks really interesting.... ..
http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/ A "get-bbcnews" verb would be a wonderful thing - someone has already made a Google News one here: http://cokeeffe.wordpress.com/get-news-for-ubiquity/ Which uses this code: CmdUtils.CreateCommand({ name: "get-news", takes: {"news title": noun_arb_text}, preview: function( pblock, theShout ) { pblock.innerHTML = "Will search for news titles containing: " + theShout.text; }, execute: function( directObject ) { var url = "http://news.google.com/news?q={QUERY}"; var query = directObject.text; var urlString = url.replace("{QUERY}", query); Utils.openUrlInBrowser(urlString); } }) from Tom - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
