Command line interface for the web - this is cool

If you are like most *nix users, you would rather prefer using the keyboard and the command line to do most of your daily chores.

However, the web browsing part of it is pretty much GUI (allowing for the elinks, lynx community out there).

Now, there is another website called YubNub which seeks to brind the CLI to the web....

For example type "am david allen" to do a search on david allen at amazon
Other examples include "wp turing" to look at the wikipedia entry on turing

I enjoyed your explanation of how YubNub helps you use the keyboard with a graphical web browser. Once I added YubNub to my [Mozilla-Firefox] Search Bar, browsing really became a breeze. All the freedom of the command line, without the GUI mess.
