gada + yubnub = ganub?
Nope, but it is the combo of two great search tools…
Chris Pirillo has released a very cool tag meta search engine, http://gada.be/ 
What an excellent idea! Aggregating tag sources into categories then providing a search across all or a subset of them.
I doubt that I’ll be searching via a mobile phone (one of Chris’s target devices) but I have another search interface that I have incorporated into my daily life as via a shortcut in firefox—yubnub.
So I threw this set of commands onto yubnub to give me access to gada searches. (A couple of the descriptions are my mistakes; I’ve emailed Jonathan about them.)
I guess I could just use the gada set of commands in the location bar, but having them in yubnub allows me to use the meta-search tool that I already go to naturally.
Observation—both yubnub & gada highlight what del.icio.us is leading the way on: with some simple syntax defined and made public, the url turns into a key user interface.

gada.be Plugins I listed a few starter gada.be plugins and widgets on the about page, but a few folks have noted that our Konfabulator widget doesn’t work well in OS X – does anyone know what needs to be fixed, or care to craft a different one for the general community? Seems that the FeedDemon plugin won’t work at the moment, as it only relies on RSS – though I’d suspect more robust support for OPML in future versions (perhaps in 1.6 final?).
gada.be was found to be a no-brainer with ActiveWords. Joe Schmidt just created a gada.be Bookmarklet! Kosso went to work on another fantastic flash demo (using gada.be OPML), too. We don’t yet have a Dashboard widget, and we don’t have a DesktopX gadget – but certainly, anybody’s free to make ‘em and let us know. We even had someone do a BETTER FireFox plugin – thank you! The biggest surprise came when I saw Patrick infuse us with yubnub. Oh, and I’m quite interested to see what Laurence is up to!
The big plugin news, IMHO, actually comes from Everitz Consulting with the creation of a gada.be tag/keyword plugin for MovableType (Dan Sanderson created another one, and I’ll be uploading it to the server later today)! I’m not sure what other blog platforms will want to play along, but I’m expecting that someone will whip up a WordPress plugin soon – although I may have to formally request it via wp-hackers. Drupal, anyone?
What else is out there to be plugged into? This is just an amazing start. Thanks everyone!!!
