Yubnub fans: Berry 411 now supports yubnub as a search plugin (keyword “yubnub”, or “yn” for short). You can add yubnub to your plugins menu, or simply type “yn: gim porsche” to have yubnub execute the given command (which translate to Search Google Images for Porsche.)

I probably ought to back up a little bit, because for many of you that last sentence will make no sense whatsoever.

Yubnub is a “social command line for the web”. The goal is to bring the power of the command line to the web, and to harness the energy of a community to do so.

Yubnub is growing more powerful both socially (with more people contributing to the Yubnub community) and as a command line, with new features like pipes for stringing together commands.

Given that mobile devices like the Blackberry have limited screen real estate and navigation, a command line for the mobile web really makes a lot of sense.

The next step is to format at least some of the output from the different Yubnub commands so that it is more convenient for mobile devices. Someday perhaps we’ll just pipe the results to mobile reformatting command :-)

Word to Wired Dude Dave for clueing me into the efforts towards a mobile Yubnub and Jon Aquino for building Yubnub as a part of the 2005 Rails Day.
