Goosh (Google Shell) is a cool web-app written by Stefan Grothkopp. It’s not an official Google product but does tie into many of functions that Google does provide. All access is done through a command-line interface.

Here is a list of the commands that are available:

• web - google web search
• lucky - go directly to first result
• images - google image search
• wiki - wikipedia search
• clear - clear the screen
• help - displays help text
• news - google news search
• blogs - google blog search
• feeds - google feed search
• open - open url in new window
• go - open url
• more - get more results
• in - search in a specific website
• load - load an extension
• video - google video search
• read - read feed of url
• place - google maps search
• lang - change language
• addengine - add goosh to firefox search box
• translate - google translation

I’d like to announce the first public release of PNGPong, a cross-browser solution for displaying transparent PNGs on the web for IE, Firefox, and Safari.

Download Links

• Download PNGPong 1.0.0 (Zip file) - contains pngpong.js, pngpong.swf, swfobject.js (v1.4.4), and an example page showing how to use it. Just unzip the contents to the root of your website, and surf to http://yourdomain.com/pngpong/example/
• Download PNGPong 1.0.0 Source Files (Zip file) - contains pngpong.fla, pngpong.js, pngpong.swf, and swfobject.js (v1.4.4)

For more details check out the PNGPong project page.

It’s been tested by several developers and QA people and is in use for a high traffic site. Please note that the Javascript API and functionality was created out of the needs of a specific project. I’d be happy to hear your thoughts on improvements.

Thanks for checking this out.
