    goosh

    I just wanted to tell everybody about goosh, a new thing which acts like a unix shell but is really an internet search tool, made by some guy at Google.

    It is way cool.

    You crack me up!

    I liked it. But the novelty wears off after... hmm... 30 seconds.

    ls must be a new addition, because earlier today it just brought back google search results. That's awesome that he implemented ls so quickly, though.

    yeah the wikipedia thing and the translate command are my favorites

    Goosh is Viennese for "shut up" ...

    But the idea sounds fun anyway.
