I just realised how powerful Ubiquity is for the blogger. Say for example I’m blogging about the Isle of Man. Just highlight the term, invoke Ubiquity and I can get:

A map of the Isle of Man
Isle of Man

Testing if this works …

Hmmm .. inserting into the post didn’t seem to work, the code is being generated, but Google Maps reports a malformed URL. Here’s what I see:

Let’s try something else:

Weather in the Isle of Man:

Can see it, but can’t insert into post. The interface works well, and the functionality can be extended quite easily, so I’m expecting great stuff from this! Must spend some more time on the tutorial

You should; it’s so easy online to search for a review and get an indication of how good/bad the product you’re after is. I’m not saying you should trust anything you read on the web implicitly. However, someone who’s had a decidedly positive or negative experience will be quite ready to express their opinion and these reviews are a great way to gauge public perception of the item you’re after.

One place you can find reviews is called Test Freaks. There are reviews for every product out there, whether you’re after cell phone reviews, Camcorders or TVs you can find a review about the item you’re looking for. The website is still in production but there’s already loads and loads of reviews. Check them out!
