    Hi David & Here's an article/screencast on using YubNub with QuickSilver: link

    i use launchy on windows, which is a clone of quicksilver. you are not required to type open app_x but just the key letters from the app's name. mapped it to alt+space





    also the nanoformats wiki is interesting but is it supported by twitter? I thought only @username was

    There are a lot of command-line launchers for Windows. They are always compared to QuickSilver, but they're not necessarily clones. It depends what you want. Some feature auto-indexing of your programs, while others emphasize more manual control. I haven't tried all of them, but I have tried quite a few. Enso is a new one to me.





    Colibri





    SlickRun





    RunFast





    Launchy





    KeyBreeze





    Executor





    Enso





    I use SlickRun and like it a lot, though it could use a few improvements.

    We have been exploring this for a while with MSN messenger bots. I wish people would go deeper into that.

    David, thanks for the Google advanced search link, it will come in handy. So many options!





    Karl,we have one more option which is missing from your list. You can take a look here:





    Dash





    It supports YubNub already.
