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.

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

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