David Pogue podcast looks at Automator

In his latest podcast, Mac author David Pogue takes a look at Automator. In the course of the four and-a-half minute podcast David discusses Automator's basic functions, the drag-and-drop interface and some potential usages (stand alone workflows, plug-ins and iCal events). He also briefly compares Automator and Applescript, and mentions Apple's Automator webpage and Automatorworld.com as good online resources (Scott took a look at Automatorworld a little while ago).

I've got a small collection of Automator plug-ins that I use regularly. One to resize images I call "Width to 150," one to send files to my folder on our fileserver at work that I call "To Recently Imported" and finally one that makes email attachments of selected files, called "Attach." What are you doing with Automator? Let us know.
