= What is Ubiquity? = | |||
Ubiquity was a Mozilla Labs experiment that was in development from 2008 to 2009. Its purpose was to explore whether a radically different type of interface to the Web — a task-centric, natural-language-based command line — could help us get common Web tasks done faster. | |||
Development is currently on indefinite hiatus. We will most likely revisit the experiment at some point in the future. In the meantime, the Ubiquity extension for Firefox is still available for download (see below). Also, some of the ideas from Ubiquity are being implemented in [[Labs/Jetpack|Jetpack]]. | |||
You can learn more about Ubiquity by reading Atul's blog post entitled [http://www.toolness.com/wp/?p=54 Ubiquitous Interfaces, Ubiquitous Functionality], or try it out via the [[Labs/Ubiquity/Latest Ubiquity User Tutorial|User Tutorial]]. | You can learn more about Ubiquity by reading Atul's blog post entitled [http://www.toolness.com/wp/?p=54 Ubiquitous Interfaces, Ubiquitous Functionality], or try it out via the [[Labs/Ubiquity/Latest Ubiquity User Tutorial|User Tutorial]]. | ||
