    To add the following bookmarklet to your browser's Favorites menu, copy the following URL:

    When you click on the favorite, your current page will be sent to WubHub's bookmark() command.

    Faster Command Entry

    Here are some tips to speed up your commandline entry:
    • Lose the quotes! Instead of a websearch distance("oakland", "san francisco"), you can also type distance(oakland, san francisco). You don't need the quotes unless you want to embed a "," in the argument, such as distance("oakland, ca", san francisco)
    • Lose the parens! Some people like the faster ":" syntax, which saves one typed character. Instead of g("adam cheyer"), you type the equivalent g: adam cheyer.
    • 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].

    You can see what's happening in WubHub by executing or subscribing to the activityLogs function in WubHub (must be a member and logged in). Are you doing cool things that others should know about? Start your own activityLog! Type newBlog(activityLog) to initialize it, and then add an entry to it with the command addEntryToBlog(activityLog)
