How I created an OS X service to post text to pastebin.com:

I launched Automator and chose the �Service� template for my new workflow. I dragged in a �Run AppleScript� action and pasted in this AppleScript code. I then dragged in a �Copy to Clipboard� action. At the top of the workflow, I had: �Service receives selected text in any application� and had �Replaces selected text� unchecked. I saved the workflow as Pastebin.com.workflow.
