I did this and I see the Service in any app > Service;

I created another Service and it does not show up the way this one does.

I created the Service by creating a Run Applescript template. I see it on Finder right next to the Instant Snapshot service, but I can't get it to show up.

Any help?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

There are three criteria for an Automator Service to correctly function:

The workflow cannot have coding, logic, or runtime errors. This should be debugged in AppleScript Editor.
The service is enabled in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services
Something must be selected, before your service will appear in the Services sub-menu.
1. A file object in Finder
2. A string of text in a document
3. A selected video or music track in iTunes
4. Etc.
