Predicting the Internet

Sometimes the internet is hard to predict. Actually I would go so far to say it is almost unpredictable. So first I would like to gloat for one line:

I was right on with weave. Almost all modern browsers (Opera, Chrome, Firefox) now offers built in bookmark synchronization.

And sometimes, you are wrong, but not always entirely. This would be the case with Ubiquity. If you have not read my old post (and its probably not worth going back to read currently), you would no doubt have noticed that Ubiquity has disappeared in Firefox, a forgotten remnant of the past. Not all was lost however. Many of the features are maintained in Firefox, such as the ability to switch tabs using the navigation bar, or the built in translate function in Chrome. Although it in itself is dead, I hope many of the ideas used will crop up in future software.
