Been reading some WebOS stuff tonight and stumbled on
two really cool things, one for your browser and one for the
hard-core CLI folks in your life:

Bring web searching, etc. to your CLI without having to
navigate through lynx/links/w3m:

http://surfraw.sourceforge.net/

Do all your web ( searching | shopping | research | etc ) from
one location in your browser:

http://www.yubnub.org/

Both extensible with further commands/references.

Pretty spiffy stuff; the latter app was written for the Rails Day
24 hour programming contest.
