I've heard Firefox makes some good money through the (Google) search
options it provides (homepage, search box,...) [link:http://
blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=6715]. Today I came across this green website
[http://friendsgreen.com/] that is merely a skin atop Google
(currently Yahoo!) and which claims to give the proceeds from your
searches to green causes.
So I wonder if YubNub could benefit from a similar setup in search
commands such as g, y, or am. My thinking is there's a lot of search
money out there that could be rightfully claimed and I would love for
it to go to Jon, YubNub, and YubNub's further development.
It's an interesting idea. It seems like the search results would have
to be on a Yubnub page for it to work, instead of just redirecting to
a Google or Yahoo search.

Brian, why do you think redirections won't be enough?
I've been thinking about this some more and it makes a lot of sense
for all parties involved. Command aggregators are the next software
abstraction step (witness Quicksilver, YubNub, Enso, Wundrbar) and
with affiliate programs they may even have a sensible revenue model!
