Google Introduces Command-Line Tool For Linux
Lomegor writes "'Ever wanted to upload a folder full of photos to Picasa from a command prompt?' Google introduced today a new project, Google CL, that lets you do that and much more. It's a new command line tool for Linux that acts as an interface with Google services; you can upload videos to YouTube or maybe post a new blog post in Blogger in just one line."
organized into separate modules, but called as "google subcommand" so that you can still have a command called "picassa" and "blogger" and "search"... sounds good to me.
"do one thing, do it well" doesn't mean "make a thousand poorly-named tools and clutter /usr/bin"
"google foo" does one thing, does it well.
"google bar" does one thing, does it well.
"google" does one thing, does it well (passes commands to a dispatcher)
you're basically complaining about seeing a space where you pointlessly want a hyphen.

Well apparently it's just a python script, so it is available for Windows. Though the last time I tried to use python from the CLI (what little there is) in Windows was a really big hassle, and I ended up just going for an unofficial prepackaged installer for that particular application which bundled Cygwin.
there's a good CLI for Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/powershell.aspx
The Cloud - because you don't care if your apps and data are up in the air.
You said good. Lack of bash = not good.
Yeah, but Powershell is to shells like Esperanto is to languages.
