Here is an interesting idea, a command line interface for the web.
http://www.yubnub.org/ has a huge list of commands, a list of which can be viewed by typing “ls” as the prompt. These range from everything from a Google search to making a Paypal payment.
There’s an article on NewsForge (http://internet.newsforge.com/internet/06/02/13/2032208.shtml) about it or just try it out for yourself and see what you think.
A few example commands:
playgame
Starts up a random online game for you to play.
loto (state)
search for state lotto results
g Linux
Performs a Google search of Linux
Wp Linux
Performs a Wiki search of Linux
