Make Your Web Life Easier With Ubiquity – An Innovative Firefox Plugin


An Innovative Firefox Plugin

Ubiquity is a very useful and user friendly Firefox plugin to make your life easier. This innovative plugin helps when you:

  • Are planning to have a meeting with your friends
  • Want to tell your friends about some new thing
  • Want to share your experience
  • Want to translate something
  • Want to extract something to send
  • Are looking to send some a location map

The Problem

You’re writing an email to invite a friend to meet at a local San Francisco restaurant that neither of you has been to.  You’d like to include a map. Today, this involves the disjointed tasks of message
composition on a web-mail service, mapping the address on a map site, searching for reviews on the restaurant on a search engine, and finally copying all links into the message being composed.  This familiar sequence is an awful lot of clicking, typing, searching, copying, and pasting in order to do a very simple task.  And you haven’t even really sent a map or useful reviews—only links to them.
