Introduction to Command Line Facebook [ fbcmd ]

I recently came across this cool thing. How many of you even thought of updating your status from a command line. This seems to be a good thing.
Benefits of the fbcmd::::
1. fool other by showing them working on cmd/CLI {while you actually do facebooking}
2. you can actually save bandwidth{as it won't show any pics/ads}
3. Its Open Source
4. try evading firewalls

Here are the Links for you
