Mozilla Labs have recently announced Ubiquity, a kind of geotagging aggregation system. What fascinates me as a writer is the idea that Ubiquity uses verbs not nouns to search and compile the aggregations.

Do you remember when everyone talked about words being dead. Icons and pictures were the thing. That’s so nineties. On holiday a couple of years ago I met someone from Google’s HR Department. She said they were targetting English graduates from Oxbridge with the best degrees because of their language skills and because searches (so far) are very word driven. 

And I love what this guy has to say about verbs…
