Goosh.org - Command Prompt Interface for Google
Ok, I’ll have to admit that I’m not a big fan of using a command prompt and typically use it as a last resort. But, I am absolutely in LOVE with this interface! Goosh.org is a Google CSE, but with a command prompt type of interface. The actual nuts and bolts of the system are nothing new. You can perform all the standard Google search functions like search the web, video, blogs, and wikipedia. But What sets it apart is it’s very unique and very creative interface.
I’ve been trying to put my finger on why I like using this interface so much. There’s no real advantage to using Goosh over the “normal” Google site except for a very creative and unique interface. But, then again I suppose it’s probably the same reason people restore and drive old cars or buy Nixie Clocks. It reminds me of the good old days of MS-DOS, Pine email clients, and storing pixel-by-pixel created images on 5-1/4″ floppy disks.
