Chrome Actions

1. Utilities for URLs

It would be cool if I could explicitly define certain URLs as keywords, so I could just type fb and it would go to facebook.com. Right now typing f autocompletes to facebook, but that's not a behavior I explicitly control. You have to wait till chrome realizes you go to that site a lot for it to show up.

2. Actions based on site utilities

Since each site has a command line interface defined by it's URL, it would be cool if you could have utilities like "search" that could combine with site keywords to produce smart behavior, like fb search dan poggi or tw tweet just setting up my twttr.

3. Application launcher

Kind of an oddball one, but I think it would even be cool to launch native apps from the chrome urlbar. I'm in chrome almost all the time, and if I want to open or switch apps it would be sweet to open a new tab and type that application's keyword.
