ubiquity header Top 35 Ubiquity Commands

News Flash

This week, Mozilla Labs released Ubiquity which is a new way to interact with your web browser. If you didn’t get the memo earlier this week, you control your browser with language instead of clickity-clicking. Instead of flipping from tab to tab, a simple key click allows users to TELL a browser what to do (ex: you need a map embedded into an email… instead of opening a new tab, typing maps.google.com and searching for the address, clicking the “embed” or “link” button, going back to your original tab, and pasting the code into your emailer without an instant map image). Don’t get it? Watch the video in this article… we’ll wait…

New Commands

Commands are the words you type in to control the actions of your browser. Coders have come out in full force writing hundreds upon hundreds of new commands and you are welcome to check every single one out on your own, but I just looked at them all (as of today) and narrowed it down to the Top 35 Ubiquity Commands:

What Now?

Download Ubiquity, subscribe to some of the commands and become more productive! To subscribe to a command, just click the subscribe button as you see below (click to enlarge):

So what commands will YOU be trying out? Which commands will you NOT be trying on for size?

PS: Here are three bonus commands that I *love*… icanhascheezburger term search, insert random a dog image and get movie times in your zip code. Cheers!

    Lani – You rock for posting these. Keep up the great work.

    I wouldn’t have heard about Ubiquity w/o AG! Now, I’m addicted.

    I added a preview option to my urban dictionary command (which seems to be very popular for some reason). So, whoever is using it needs to resubscribe or it could update automatically if you are auto-subscribed to it.

    I’ve created a Ubiquity command for AutoSMS. You can send SMS messages to persons in your AutoSMS phonebook with the simple command: “sms to “, where name is a uniquely identifiable portion of a name in your phonebook. Of course using standard Ubiquity convention, could be replaced with “this” to use a selected block of text from the website you are viewing.
