Mozilla announced yesterday a very exciting new project called Ubiquity. It's in it's first public beta release and is available as a Firefox add-in.
Ubiquity allows you to interface with multiple web sites and applications without ever leaving the Firefox window where you're working. It has some of the functionality of Flock, but it seems much more usable and practical. Using keyboard shortcuts, you launch the interface and type commands like "map disneyland" or "define ostracize" and, using tools you've pre-configured (e.g., Mapquest and Dictionary.com), returns a result to inform you or to copy and paste into your work. There's a short video demo at the link above - check it out! It's mind bending!
