== YubNub

This is the source code for YubNub, a (social) command-line for the web.

YubNub was written by Jonathan Aquino for the Rails Day 2005 programming competition. You can reach Jonathan at jonathan.aquino@gmail.com.

== About YubNub

YubNub is a command-line for the web. After setting it up on your browser, you simply type "gim porsche 911" to do a Google Image Search for pictures of Porsche 911 sports cars. Type "random 49" to return random numbers between 1 and 49, courtesy of random.org. And best of all, you can make a new command by giving YubNub an appropriate URL.
