fbm

Send Facebook Messages from your terminal.

gem install fbm

fbm login

It will give you a link, login and copy the success URL back to the application.

fbm ls Thai

It will list all friends that contains "Thai" in their name.

echo some text | fbm send Thai

It will send "some text" to Thai. If it matches multiple Thais, nothing will be sent, you must type the full name so that it matches one name.

Sending a code snippet to Gist using Jist and send via Facebook.

jist filename.c | fbm send Recipient

Sometimes it can be a good idea to save the message that you send.

jist filename.c | tee ~/.fbm_prev | fbm send Recipient

This is my first Gem, and I'm very new to this. However, this app does just what I want now.

Contributions welcome. If you want you can make this app more structured, or make it print to stderr instead of stdout, or add unit tests.
