John Gruber wanted an a that would allow one to turn any command line script that accepts i ut into a service (you remember services, don't you? They live in the A le menu and don't really do to much). Thi ervice was born to fill this need.What the heck would you do with this free a (though donatio are encouraged)? Well, you could write a script that, for example, takes the I of a book and based on that retur a bunch of information from Amazon's we ervice. This way you could be surfing along on a publisher's we ite, see a book, highlight the I , hit the shortcut, and know what Amazon is selling it for. This is the first example that came to me, but the uses are pretty limitle .
