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."

Re:yes, but...

Count me in with the Windows crew.

Actually I guess it would be more precise to say that I really don't want to run Windows, but it tends to piss me off a little less than Linux, BSD, etc. I actually hate both. (I can't speak to OS X; I haven't used it enough. Of course, Apple also refuses to either sell me a copy of OS X I can use on a non-Apple computer* or offer a mid-range, non-all-in-one desktop, so that's not going to change soon either.)

* Sure, I could set up a hackintosh. But I figure that if a company doesn't want me to give them money, I won't.

I wrote a google CLI tool once

Some guy used to always post the worst questions to a list I was on. Like, the kind of stuff where you could google the subject line of his email and get the answer. So I wrote...#!/bin/sh
lynx -dump google.com/search?q=$1+$2+$3+$4+$5 | mail -s "Automated response" list@example.comWhat I really wanted was for the list admin to put a filter on the server that would automatically take his messages and do that.
