"The New Web"

Technology has constantly evolved creating a more advanced web of devices. Communication first existed via messengers who would verbally transmit the message by walking to the recipient. This then changed to writing and then phones then email and now we are at the point in time where we are a tap and a click away from anything and anyone.

Whether twittering, texting or just plain snail mail we are all connected by the some form. Today most people are connected by the web. In this post I will talk about some cool new things that help the web experience.

Ubiquity is a very cool tool released by mozilla labs. Via a xpi you can install it into firefox an begin using it. Basically the whole point behind ubiquity is that it allows a user to say what they want to do rather than do it. This is slightly difficult to explain at first but for example you want to twitter what your doing. Rather than going up to the adresse bar, typing in twitter, going to status, typing in blogging you can just tell ubiquity "twitter blogging" and your status will be updated

This video provides a decent overview

You can also subscribe to other commands and build your own (without having to restart or anything which is a nice touch). Right now ubiquity is still in a lab form but shows great promise. If this project is continued and carried on it could seriously change the way we use the web.
