Mat,
The cynics would of course say it was all too
clear, transparent and abundantly obvious of course!!
There does seem to be noticable patterns to these
things however with the emphasis and
engineering approaches that occur
repeatedly.

services are like Paris Hilton
I just wish the web services picture was a bit clearer and in

the internet and in junk mail

doing things with web services probably means alot of late nights

anything that web

as they can get
#2 -
web services are trying to become things that they are not, but
would
like to be somehow
#1 - web services can do absolutely anything
you want them to do - and in
ways you never even thought
possible.
