Been using it a little and it is pretty sweet but it takes some time to get used to.

I installed it here at work. A little buggy, but pretty cool.
 I'll be installing it at home too.

It's pretty cool, I really hope it takes off. The guys right, it's kind of sad with all the advancements nowadays that I can't even place a map into my e-mail easily...

Useless to me and I imagine many others. Agree with Lance, but as we've seen with Techsans, not being widespread does not mean dead.

I can say with a high degree of certainty that not a single one of my coworkers uses tinyurl, twitter, want to put a map in an e-mail, or any of the features this provides. If the instance came up that they wanted to, it wouldn't be frequent enough to justify learning to use this. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

Well it's a good thing this functionality isn't limited to tinyurl, twitter, or mapping. You can script it to do whatever you want. It'd be like you saying the C programming language is something you imagine is useless to many.

Maybe if more useful scripts are developed, it'll gain ground, but in its current form, it's just a toy for the few. Which is cool, yall like your toys

The end user is not coding in Ubiquity either. They're using the code developed by others, just as it is with C. And considering just about every computer in existence uses code developed in C, calling it useless to many is ridiculous. Your attempt to belittle has failed my friend, I suppose you'll have to get your jollies belitting something else someone likes.

Whatever. Thread necro this whenever it gets a majority following and I'll say I was wrong. Until then, enjoy your toy.
