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!

Microsoft is now pushing into the wonderful world of Personal webpages….yet again. There are some nice features. You can create a game, a mashup, or a webpage, and share with everyone, but this comes in a little late in the game. Google Pages with their Gears and Yahoo’s 360 have dominated this space for some time. The only way I think this product can make it big is if a FREE (yes, I said free) tool/plug-in incoroprates Popfly services into Windows OS and Office Suites. Also, allow users to create games using their choice of tools and upload to the Game hosting service.
Microsoft comes up with some wonderful services, but just like Yahoo it somehow messes up when the time has come to pull it all together and show the unified story. Anywho, jump to the link and try it out yourself. Who knows, may be this fits your fancy :)
