I'm doing more than this in Filemaker. Sorry, this seems to me like using cars the same way horses were used until someone figured out cars were different to horses.

I'll have to keep a close eye on the development. Certainly an interesting project, I can so much potential there. I’ll have to keep a close eye on the development.

I can't wait for this to come out to the public. I think it'll be really big and extremely useful for everyone. He's right, it's 2008, and technology needs to be more innovative than it is. ~cindy http://www.boxcarstudio.com Exciting! I can’t wait for this to come out to the public.

I think a push should be made to do these sorts of actions at the OS level. OS Search is cool right now, but mashups and visualization are far more useful.

I stronly believe this will have quite an impact, basically because they solved a very important issue that the extension Operator never did. Extending the feature set, ie, installing new commands! It's a breeze with ubiquity and not so automatic with operator. And to think this is only a "prototype". :) Indeed.

Though, a lot of Ubiquity's functionnalities are already in your daily routine if you use Quicksilver, so here I feel some redundance. Also, I think that everything they speak about is not necessarily the browser job : it's more the job of a standalone global app. Though this initiative is very pleasing :) I agree that the craigslist example is very interesting.
