About Yubnub

Yubnub is a web-based tool for running commands entered as short text. Instead of opening separate sites, you type a shortcut plus terms, such as gim for Google Images or wp for Wikipedia. The site includes pages for listing commands, creating commands, and installation and syntax help.

Examples shown include gim porsche 911 to search Google Images, random 100 to pick a random number between 1 and 100, ls to list all available commands, man random to show help for a command, and a currency example with amount and from/to values. It also lists shortcuts for Google, Google News, Yahoo, Amazon, CNN, weather by zip code, eBay, Flickr, ESPN, stock quotes, and dictionary lookups.

It suits people comfortable typing commands who want access to searches and lookups from one input field. Users can browse command lists and create their own.
