Google makes it seriously easy with its code generating tool. Choose a layout style (basically vertical stack or horizontal bar), type in the names of sites you want to embed feeds from, and you're off and running. There's no ostentatious ads or branding, and the code is easily modified for theme matching, making it a great tool for web beginners and tinkerers alike.

Shell-lovers are going to flip for this one: Goosh.org, which bills itself "the unofficial google shell," puts a Unix-like command line interface to Google on a web page using the magic of Ajax. Head over to goosh.org and type any word to get Google search results back in a an ls-like listing. You can also search various other Google products and engines, like Google Images, News, Blogs, Video, Translate and the Wikipedia. Type help or h to get a full listing of possible goosh.org commands.

For example, search individual sites by using the in operator, like in lifehacker.com iTunes to search this site's archives for iTunes. Run an "I'm Feeling Lucky" search for a term simply using l. Or enter addengine to put goosh.org in your Firefox search box, go [URL] to open a link, or open [URL] to open a web site in a new window. There's also the intriguing load command that can "load an extension" by URL—what types of extensions we don't know, but we sure do like ourselves some extensibility.

While we're more apt to use Firefox's address bar as a web search command line for everyday use, goosh.org is undeniably cool.

Goosh.org hosts an unofficial Google interface which “behaves similar to a unix-shell,” as the author Stefan Grothkopp explains. For instance, entering n disney will result in a Google News search for the keyword “disney”. Type help to see some of the other available commands, like lucky (an “I’m feeling lucky” search), wiki (a Wikipedia search), blogs, or video. Note this project is not the first try at a Google command line utility, though one previous such site I know of seems to be down now. [Thanks Stefan!]
