The world of commands

Hello world! We are 3 developers from Dallas. The web has come across a long since its birth. Now we use it for so many purposes. We check emails, look for direction, check on our friends in facebook the possiblities are endless. However, all these perks come with a catch. All these information are still scattered and comes with a lot of noise.

We feel web can be browsed in a better way,with much more ease and much less noise. Kaanzi is our approach of interacting with the web. We have tried to bring many fun services under one umbrella through a bunch of fun commands. Use ‘flickr recent’ command to see all the recent uploaded pictured from Flickr. Direction command will give google direction . So, type away and let us know your thoughts, comments and concerns!!

Some of the commands in the site are still mockups.The site only supports firefox 3.6 above and chrome for now.
