(2004-06-03) Bray Web Services Reality Check

Tim Bray does a reality-check on Web Services/SOA standards complexity. So, if you believed in history, where would you look for the future of "Web Services?" You'd look at the people who are doing them in a rough-and-ready fashion out there on the Net. The names that come to my mind are Amazon, Google, EBay, SalesforceCom, maybe SABRE. Whatever they're doing, that's Web Services or SOA or the Services Fabric or whatever you want to call it. Anything they don't need, maybe it isn't going to be real important. (Worse Is Better)
