Mozilla knocks my goddamn socks off by introducing Ubiquity
There were days when I used to get crazy-mad excited about concept-cars and concept-cell-phones. Over time I’ve realized that those things never see the light of day. That is precisely why I am in DEEP DEEP LOVE with software. Almost every concept-app becomes a reality.
Yesterday Mozilla Labs released a tool called “Ubiquity”. It’s a way to create mash-ups. Now, I know you’ll roll your eyes and say ‘Oh okkkkk.. another Mashup tool. Just what we needed.’ Well let me tell you… this tool, IS WHAT WE NEEDED from the very beginning. When I (or you, or anyone) talks about future of the Web and the whole next-gen Web experience, this is what I’m referring to. I know I’ve been yapping a lot in this post without giving any info on what this ubiquity-thing does and how you can use it. So, here’s what I suggest. Look at the video if you haven’t done so yet. I am SOLD on this one. And as my title says; with Ubiquity, Mozilla knocked my goddamn socks off!

After my love and over-joy for Mozilla’s Ubiquity, here’s another Mozilla project that I feel energized about. It’s called Bespin. Bespin is an online IDE. Currently it only supports CSS/HTML/JavaScript syntax highlighting, but its architecture allows for further additions. If you have worked with vi or vim, Bespin UI will look very familiar. It is almost as if Vi team made a Web version of the software.
I am looking forward to a beta and post-beta launch. It is going to be EPIC! If you would like to try it out, feel free to create an account and try your hand at it. It is sure to amaze and entertain your kindling mind.
Here’s a cheer for the first step towards a usable and free online IDE.
(update: Not sure why I didn’t mention a link to the project. Here it is.)
