Use WubHub as a better way to organize your shortcuts to URLs.

Instead of a websearch <i>distance("oakland", "san francisco")</i>, you can also type <i>distance(oakland, san francisco)</i>. You don't need the quotes unless you want to embed a "," in the argument, such as <i>distance("oakland, ca", san francisco)</i> <LI> Lose the parens! Some people like the faster ":" syntax, which saves one typed character. Instead of <i>g("adam cheyer")</i>, you type the equivalent <i>g: adam cheyer</i>. <LI> Short Aliases: If you type a long command requently, simply create a new function that is an alias to this longer function, perhaps with some default arguments. For example, alias "yahooLocal(searchTerm, location)" to be customized for you: yl(searchTerm) [set the default location to where you live]. </ul> ` .], [. title=`Keep an Activity Log`, postedby=`acheyer`, when=`12/23/05 05:20:00 AM`, id=2, content=`You can see what's happening in WubHub by executing or subscribing to the <a href="WubHub_DoIt?cmdline=activityLogs">activityLogs</a> function in WubHub (must be a member and logged in).
