"gpeeps" is a nice find - but I would suggest using https://www.google.com/contacts instead of the Gmail UI URL you used (I will note that I only found
this URL after doing a search related to the command you uploaded). It
will probably prove less volatile. I have created a "gcontacts"
command accordingly. What we're lacking is a contact search command,
but I have been unable to find one.
I created gcon2 to search Google contacts. It's not ideal, though,
because the only way I could figure out to do it was to go in through
the HTML interface.
http://yubnub.org/kernel/man?args=gcon2
I used "gcon2" because I had used "gcon" for the original Google
contacts search in 2005. That command broke when Google updated their
contact system.
If people like gcon2, we could use that command to replace gcon.
However, if someone comes up with a more elegant way to search Google
contacts (from the normal interface instead of the HTML interface),
I'd prefer that.

I think it's confusing to people to have the [virtually unused] command
"mymaps" competing with the command I just created ("mymap"). Any reason you
know of not to change this? You could keep both, but switch them around, or
just get rid of "mymaps" and replace it with mine, as I'm sure that one is
likely duplicated in another command, or could be easily redone in a more
relevant command.
