I think it would be nice if ALL services which performed on Text were
available in the Contextual menu for the selected text. That would be
nice.

And I've been wondering if there's not some better way to present
Services.
I mean, I'm in Mail right now, and to get to my thesaurus or my URL
download service, I have to click Mail -> Services -> Downloader -> Get
URL. Four levels deep. Yuck. How about a more prominent placement on
the menu bar, or even on the dock. Maybe some more contextual menus?
I'm thinking that Services can be an amazing system once more apps start
implementing them, but if they're buried that deep in the UI, my Mom
will
never use them. Hell, even the word "Services" would keep my Mom from
even clicking on that menu option. Yeah, yeah, I know there are
keyboard
shortcuts, but there aren't that many to use, and you have to have
explored and memorized your available services first.
