+# Do not remind novice users of the hell that was DOS.
+#: This includes the use of “command line interface” and all buzzwords such as [http://www.viddler.com/explore/indolering/videos/17/840 mashup], dashboard, and even [[labs/Ubiquity/Usability/Usability Testing/Fall 08 1.2 Tests#Analyzing_Data|hotkey]].
+# Do not give the impression of a natural language parser, otherwise users go overboard or send mean vibes.
+#: All current successful natural language AI’s bring with them a set of expectations that users respect.  For example, people have been trained to carefully enunciate with telephone systems (Apple’s support line is great one).  [http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/272933.html Video games] and telephone systems also structure the interaction in a multiple choice format to restrict the universe of possibilities that users will throw at it.
+# Give clear clues as to what Ubiquity is useful for and leave an impression that it’s of easy to use.
+# Avoid broad names for specific features
+# Make sure the name works well in a short sentence describing the feature. Examples:
+#* "spotlight helps you find things on your computer"
+#* "automator helps you automate tasks"
+#* "time machine helps you recover after a crash"
+#* "private browsing lets you browse the Web privately"
+# Avoid common Microsoft modifiers (Smart, live, etc)
+# Name the feature early in order to get the name to stick (smart bookmarks vs. microsummaries)

+#[http://www.indolering.com/indolering.com/Ubiquity_Blog/Entries/2009/3/11_Naming_Ubiquity_in_Firefox.html Tricks] Ubiquity won't be so much a thing as a function of Firefox.  Like searching using the search bar, going backwards with the back button, etc.  Trick steers clear of CLI references and it’s a clue to the user that (like a pet) Ubiquity doesn’t understand language but it will perform specific actions in response to specific commands.
