by Erica Sadun (May 23rd, 2011)

Dear Auntie TUAW, Amazon gave me a free 10 GB in their cloud to upload my music.

I stumbled upon a great example of the Snow Leopard Services that I've been drooling over. The S3 Upload Service by August Lilleaas is available as a workflow which can be opened in Automator, so you can examine its inner workings.

First Look: Twin 1.0 for Mac OS X
