Its been getting some play around the web and some 'geeklove' as of late. It so deserves it.

I've long wanted to see better integration of the shell env with the www. Pipe the output of a compile error straight to google? IPTraces? whois? An exception stack trace? Write scripts that pipe to google searches or interact with web services? Yeah, you can use some WWW protocols(http get,put etc) though the shell, but its a real pain, and someone may be able to use existing tools to script together some of the stuff I mention above, certainly not the non-specialist could. Anyway, I hope this catches on and someone thinks through how to seamlessly build something like this for a shell env.
