I have seen the future – and it is called Ubiquity
In case you haven’t heard about it – Mozilla (the wonderful people behind our all most favored browser Firefox) released an alpha version of their latest and greatest invention today: Ubiquity.
What Ubiquity sets out to do is basically bring the power of mashups to everyone – Ubiquity brings together formerly disjoint parts of the web to create a new, intelligent environment right inside your browser. I spare you my probably pretty bad explanation and let Aza Raskin from Mozilla do the talking:

Now – if you are not already thrilled by what you are seeing, consider for a moment what Ubiquity means in the upcomming world of the semantic web (or Web 3.0). The moment we have data properly tagged with meta data through XML, RDF and SWRL Ubiquity becomes a truly powerful concept which will change the way we interact with the web. Bring it on!
