Yubnub
Here’s an interesting site I came across today: YubNub: a (social) command line for the web. The site is command driven; you type in commands to make it do stuff. For example, entering gim porsche 911 will perform a Google Image Search for the term “porsche 911″. Pretty neat! There are probably thousands of commands (anyone can create their own) and I’ve created two: jeutf8p and ejp.
jeutf8p will search WWWJDIC, an online English<->Japanese dictionary, for a Japanese word and display only the “common words”. For example: "jeutf8p 東京" will take you to this page, showing results for the Japanese word toukyou (Tokyo).
ejp is basically the opposite of the above command. It will search the dictionary for an English word and return the “common words”. So, ejp tokyo will take you to this page.
I think I will have to play around with this site some more.
