-thirdparty module is code we are temporarily storing as there is no maven module for it (or the code we use from it).
-Please publish to maven repos manually as needed.
+our current version is 1.0-beta-3
+ 
+our compute api supports: ec2, rackspace, rimuhosting, vcloud, terremark, 
+                          hosting.com
+our blobstore api supports: s3, rackspace, azure, atmos online
+ 
+ 
+BlobStore Example:
+  // init
+  context = new BlobStoreContextFactory().createContext(
+                  "s3",
+                  accesskeyid,
+                  secretaccesskey);
+  blobStore = context.getBlobStore();
+ 
+  // create container
+  blobStore.createContainerInLocation("default", "mycontainer");
+  
+  // add blob
+  blob = blobStore.newBlob("test");
+  blob.setPayload("testdata");
+  blobStore.putBlob(containerName, blob);
+ 
+Compute Example:
+  // init
+  context = new ComputeServiceContextFactory().createContext(
+                  "ec2",
+                  accesskeyid,
+                  secretaccesskey,
+                  ImmutableSet.of(new Log4JLoggingModule(),
+                                  new JschSshClientModule()));
+  client = context.getComputeService();
+ 
+  // define the requirements of your node
+  template = client.templateBuilder().osFamily(UBUNTU).smallest().build();
+ 
+  // these nodes will be accessible via ssh when the call returns
+  nodes = client.runNodesWithTag("mycluster", 2, template);
