Command Line for the Web

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the interesting-thought dept.

flood6 writes "SearchEngineWatch offers a look at a new method of interacting with the Internet, YubNub. This 'social command line for the web' lets users create commands that interact with websites. Currently, most of the commands apply to search, but new commands could work with any site that accepts variables passed with HTML's GET command. For example, iap moon would search the Internet Archive for all media related to 'moon'."

  2. Expand it! by caudron · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe we could expand it to all parts in the Internet. Then people could do cool stuff like check their mail at the prompt, read newsgroups at the prompt, maybe even read each others blogs at the prompt. Hey, we could call it "telnet" or something really catchy. This is just crazy enough to work, guys! Who's with me?

    I'm starting my CLI-accessable blog right away. I'm gonna call it the "Finger".

    Ain't progress grand?
