Damn Good Website: YubNub

Tired of saving your web favorites locally? YubNub is an Internet command line tool that allows you to assign "commands" (think keyword shortcuts) to any URL you like. For example, type in "/." and YubNub directs you to slashdot.org. "Sarah" catapults you to this very page (I created it myself, naturally). As long as your command isn't already taken, you could dream up whatever cute little interweb nicknames your little heart desires, assign them to your favorite URLs, and they'll be consistent no matter what computer you hop onto. Check out the current command list to see what others are adding, and then add YubNub to your Firefox search bar.

Shinjin, its not that I don't "care"; its just that the effort taken to state my position is not worth the trouble or the effort. Its wasted time and energy. There are more important things in this world to worry about, so let's get on with it.

I am so blessed to be on tv. I have a horrible delivery on camera. Do yourself a favor and mute the sound when I speak.

Kevin P. must have been an only child. He constantly interrupts people. A clear sign he is starved for attention.

Ms. Lane I'm just posting here to let you know that if you want to sue any of these losers posing as celebs, yourself, or even your Mother, I can guarantee a conviction. I'll bet my job on it.
HE HE!!!!

u suck big time!!! and whats up with your hair do on attack of the show!!!! just shut up
June 14, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterI hate ATOS
While her hair was wierd on yesterday's AOTS, that is no reason to insult the lady. Play nice or don't play at all.
June 14, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterJohn
Sarah your hair was so cool! It look like you were out of a video game! I loved it!
June 15, 2005 | Unregistered Commenterlethalevenasleep
*I* thought your hairdo was - refreshingly - sassy!

June 15, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterZenBro
i cant believe were discussing her hair

June 15, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterBrad
Actually, I like the way her hair looked a few yeard ago. I think she looked good with brown hair.
June 15, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterDrew
That's super!Thanks for sharing!

How did these comments get so miserably off track?
June 15, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterYucko
Yeah people lets get this back on track...but Sarah can you or Kevin R hook me up with some erb? My um...glaucoma is acting up.
June 15, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterMary Kate Olsen
Sarah mabye its time you should break the silence. I feel a lot better now after talking to Vanity Fair and I think it would do you a lot of good too, though I don't think Vanity Fair would find it worth printing. Mabye you should give Game Informer a call.
June 15, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer Aniston
Hey does anyone think Sarah needs glasses? I just saw Wednesday's show(6-15) and she talked about how she messed up all the jokes(not being able to read them properly? ...not that it would have helped the jokes) and messed up reading the last question on the teleprompter. I'm sure she's got vision covered in her health insurance plan. This might explain her hair and wardrobe lately too.
June 15, 2005 | Unregistered Commenterbenboxer
Well we all know that Sarah and Kevin broke up, we are beyond that now so there is no need to ask if they broke up. I noticed that Kevin seems interested in Amber MacAurther from CFH 2.0 now. In fact he asks her publicly on her picture blog if he can go up to Canada and visit again. Here is the link:http://ambermac.textamerica.com/?r=2690904

June 15, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterBill
NOT TRUE MAN!!! Kevin broke up with Sarah but he is now dating me. He only want to go to Toronto to hook up with that Mikey guy. He has no interest in babes.

Gosh you freakin idiots ... Get your OWN woman and adore her. You will he happier, I promise..........

...thinking....you should have your title be typed out with a typewriter effect...i could give you the code if you want...
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterDragonboy
That could be dangerous!

(I have no idea how - addiction?)
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterAnne
Yeah I knew they broke up when I saw Kevin posting pictures of his girl "friends"http://kevinrose.textamerica.com/?r=2698773I also noticed that he took Sarah's textamercia page out of "My Favorites" in his textamerica page, and put Amber MacArther's there instead. Along with Dan and switcherman.http://kevinrose.textamerica.com/So what everyone was speculating about is true then. Now we know and wish the best to that pimp Kevin.
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterJohn Doe
well... all my hopes are now gone... Sarah has finally taken kevin off her list of sites on her blog, and her list of links on her moblog. I cant believe I care so much!?
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered Commenterme
I appreciate all the hard work im assuming you put into the show... (lol, you can never REALLY trust what you find on T.V.) um... ah yes, I found Yubnub to be very helpful for publicity of blogs and various websites, as long as you know words that everyone is searching for. It's Always interesting to hear your comments and insight with everything that ever existed... (Seriously, you never run out.... and hope you never do)

Always looking forward to another show,Guy-Who-Never-Expects-Any-Reply-In-Any-Way-Shape-Or-FormA.K.A. Caleb... lol

P.S. Try searching my name on Yubnub!! EVERYONE!!!
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterCaleb
y would we care about what goes on in ur life? its more fun to talk about ppl weve all seen, albeit on tv.
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterBrad
Maybe Sarah took the links out because she's tired of HEARING SPECULATION ABOUT HER RELATIONSHIP? Just a thought.
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterThe Inquisitor
Hey buttmunches, if Sarah doesn't like Kevin anymore, then why does she have links to SYSTM and DIGG?
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterJake
So what does she have to do to become just Sarah Lane and not 'Sarah Lane?...Oh yeah she was Kevin R's gf right?'
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered Commenterbenboxer
Hey everyone. Just wanted to say hi and make a huge anouncement. If you haven't heard, Tom and I are engaged. Sarah, you are difently invited to the wedding.
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterKattie Holmes
Sorry Sarah but Katie got away from her best friend for a minute and made some offer without our approval. You have to take this personality test first. I've provided the link.
June 16, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterTom Cruise
Oh brother... Sarah needs to post a new entry so that the comments can get back on track.
June 17, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterRick
yea definetly agree with rick.

also she should take a note out of kevin pereira's blog and podcast!
June 17, 2005 | Unregistered Commentersubliminaloutbrk

Does G4 pay enough to live in SoCal and still afford Margaritas at Skybar?
June 29, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterHystyk28
Found something similar but without people adding millions of rubbish commands, you just suggest them to the webmaster I think. www.eggo.co.uk

June 29, 2005 | Unregistered Commentereggo
Holy crap, that's a lot of comments! :-)

I just wanted to let you know that you can achieve the same effect as using YubNub with Firefox's own bookmarks.

Bookmark your page. Then go to your bookmarks menu and *right* click on the bookmark you just added. Choose "properties" and put your shortcut word in the "keyword" field. Works exactly the same as what you described in your post.

Neither Sarah nor Kevin "owe" anybody details of their personal lives. Please show some restraint from asking personal questions, thanks....
July 8, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterLorelei
you like gilmore girls, lorelai..figures somebody who watches that show would say something like that. I know it is wrong to get into people's presonal lives, but when you make something public like your relationship, it is obvious that people will ask and speculate, so i believe it is good for hits on your webpage.
July 16, 2005 | Unregistered Commenterrodmon
NEWS FLASH: What once was common knowledge is still apparently quite true. Despite their new-found social acceptance and foul-mouthed antics, nerds still need to get a friggin' life.

Yay...
