Command line browser control
17-Jun-2005When I first went to YubNub, I thought it was kind of gimmicky.
“A social command line for the web” sounds like a del.icio.us, Yahoo! personals and Linux ubergeek mashup that would last for about 2 seconds of my Internet attention span.
I found myself drawn in by what people care enough about to set up Yubnub commands. Just look at this stuff:
tts I want to record a record
(Invoke text to speech from AT&T labs on a sentence that’s easy for TTS to screw up)
wikip buggles
(search Wikipedia for buggles)
man ascii
(Display the manpage for ascii)
There’s some mileage in being able to almost roll your own Ninja Google command qualifiers.
Install the Firefox search engine plugin today.
Hi Brainsnorkel – Hope YubNub is useful to you. I like that Google cheatsheet. You can access Google through yubnub using “g”; for example: g weather mountain view
Yubnub is great, and continues to be useful to me. Thanks for stopping by!
