If tools like Ubiquity become popular across the spectrum of online search (as I imagine they will) what's the implication for ad revenue? I'd worry that search sites and hosts for this type of data might try to combat the trend. The two commands I've written so far are extremely tenuous (though much of that is a result of novice javascript use) in the way they grab their data, and it wouldn't take much more than a change of font-size on my chosen lyrics host to kill the command.
If Ubiquity continues ad-free, there isn't much incentive for search engines and data providers to play along. Unfortunately, this may encourage previously "free" ad-funded services to adopt less open monetization models.
- lyric command (again, ubiquity required)
