PodiPodi - The magical box

PodiPodi is a special web widget born with the aim to give web designers a way to enhance their websites with two new levels of interaction:

  1. an additional quick and easy to use user interface for visitors

PodiPodi is an embeddable keyboard-driven interface that allows the users to type commands and obtain respones.
You can try it just by pressing Shift+Space on your keyboard, simple, ain't?!? You can type in several commands to perform different tasks like searching the web with Google or Yahoo!, find text in the page, send a comment to the website owner or send a message to a friend of yours, you can also enjoy videos from YouTube and Google Videos and search for pictures on Flickr, we are developing many interesting commands and customizations.

  • Ubiquity: An experiment into connecting the Web with language

    Mozilla Labs have just released Ubiquity a great add-on for firefox to empower and extend the browser functionality with a command line interface! We tried it and guys, we love it! You should give it a try! What we prefer is the way it interacts with Google Map.

    The guys at Mozilla Labs are attempting to find new user interfaces that could make it possible for everyone to do common Web tasks more quickly and easily...well that is what we are trying too!

    Thanks to these great efforts we think it can be possible to accomplish the mission to make the Web a better place!

    This feature is still experimental but you can already enable it from your administration tools.

    In the meanwhile we will work hard making it better and publishing a couple of new commands!

    Stay tuned!

  • Major Change: From Shift+Z to Shift+Space

    After some more testing and feedbacks from our users we've thought that moving from uppercase Z to uppercase Space is the right choice for a better interaction with PodiPodi.
    We can finally search Zorro with PodiPodi!!!!

  • New command available: Flickr

    Another famous web service has been added to PodiPodi: Flickr. Simply type in flickr, press enter and enjoy the pictures posted on Flickr by the webdesigner, if you type some terms just after flickr (i.e. flickr elephant) you'll perform a search on Flickr for the given words.
