I personally think that spending time more on extending commandline and argument passing would be better spent. Because most of these websites offer basic connection to tools like curl. I successfully sent twitter messages from Farr using curl. It is just an alias. But RTM could be little more daunting for novice Farr user because you may need to define multiple inputs.
couldn't agree more, spending time on the core of FARR, adding aliases functionnalities, switches, ... would be great
i consider some of my aliases pretty much like plugins
considering curl, i personnaly use external autohotkey scripts that i call from FARR :
here is one to save an url on your del.icio.us account (change name and password) :
this is pretty basic but does the job... first the names, then the tags...

in FARR : it is one of multiple results for the following regex trigger :

THIS is the beauty of FARR, it is only one of multiple results, so when i have an URL in FARR, i can either save the it to del.icio.us, open it in opera or firefox, etc.
you really customize you experience
... to the point... one fantastic addition to FARR would be the possibility to post variables to a website and open the resulting page
don't know how to do it with curl by the way, you post you get the resulting page but not in the browser...
on many search sites, you cannot send your search using get variables... i'd be great to be able to post your search... and see the resulting page
it would be easy to automate logging to a website (without using tools like roboform...)
