Damn Good Website: YubNub
June 9, 2005 in
Web/Tech 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.

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.
Yay...
