Google Bookmarks Ubiquity Command

For those who haven't heard of Mozilla's Ubiquity it is an experimental plugin for Firefox that provides a command line interface for executing commands to control the browser.

Being a big fan of command-line commands, I've decided to jump on the Ubiquity bandwagon and create a command for bookmarking a page with Google Bookmarks (which I am a fan of). This is based on the bookmarklet provided by Google and I got some hints from Ryan Sonnek's delicious Ubiquity command.

Usage:

Type "bk" followed by a comma-separated list of tags (Google calls them "labels") you want to apply to the bookmark. It will bring up the popup that the bookmarklet normally brings up so that you can make additional changes and submit it.

Known issues:

  • If one of your tags is "this" it will convert to a URL that looks like it is Google searching for the code for the command itself.
  • It occasionally sends a link to Firefox chrome as the URL.

Also, see my Ubiquity command page for a full list of commands I have available.
