Command line comes to web.

Google, Inc.Image via Wikipedia I am a command line enthusiast. Inspite of the power of GUI, command line seems more easy to work, as we need to use just the keyboard. I have found it pretty fast using a keyboard than a mouse to write code. I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts than moving the mouse around. This has certainly been difficult when it comes to web pages, as they seem to be designed for mouse. I can't think of web pages providing intuitive keyboard shortcuts, except Google Docs, Outlook OWA to some extent.

Read this article in Slashdot. Probably, this is one of the most simple and innovative web site in recent times. The website goosh has brought command line to web. As a geek, i was excited to see this app. The best part is simplicity and feel of a command line environment. Its quite primitive, but certainly looks cool.

As of now, it just does google search, more of a google shell on internet. But, i see wide possibilities of this web app. I would love to see it growing. Nowadays, i am using this site to google for keywords.
