what exactly do you want? it installs and functions perfectly, just as it would in firefox
the suggestions page (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_Command_Suggestions) even has a suggestion to give it flock-specific features in the future!
but yes, agreed, it is pretty friggin cool
Ubiquity and Flock have, if not the same, very similar end goals. You guys need to jump on this band wagon immediately if you haven't already. I am besides myself just thinking what it will do for the concept of social networking. If it becomes 'ubiquitous' it will forever and fundamentally change the way we interface with the web and, more importantly, with each other via the web.
I have just tried out Ubiquity and I am simply speechless. This really has potential to become the future of how we view the internet. Flock developers definitely need to talk the Ubiquity team about building it into Flock.
sorry - i was the original poster above. I just tried again and still can't install ubiquity in flock. after the download a popup screen says that it' s not compatible.
works fine for me... i am using flock 2b
if you're using flock 1.2 that may be the problem - i suspect that ubiquity is only compatible with firefox 3 (which flock 2b is based on), and not firefox 2 (which flock 1.2 is based on)
Ubiquity is definitely a very cool app...I finally found a few minutes to play with it today, and it is both slick and useful. As several folks have mentioned, this extension works in Flock 2, so you should be able to immediately start using it once Flock 2 is out.
As for integration, I don't think we're going to hop on this because I'm not sure where it might go on the Mozilla end. This is somewhat similar to the omnibar in Google Chrome, and it stands to reason that Mozilla might eventually move some (or all) Ubiquity features into the awesomebar (which we would then inherit). And, while I do think Ubiquity is cool, I'm not sure that command-line actions are necessarily a mainstream kind of feature...I think more interesting will be to see how Ubiquity evolves into a more integrated part of the browser UI.
Looking forward to continuing to read your thoughts on Ubiquity here and across the web!

Woah, so what you're saying Evan is that... somehow... command line controls could somehow... evolve? So, instead of type-written commands for searching, emailing, digging and the like, we might have "buttons" somehow "integrated" into to the browser window instead? CRAZY!
