The story of Web 2.0 and SOA continues - Part 1

It's nearly the middle of 2007 already and I've had occasion to sit down and look at where Web 2.0 and SOA software models have evolved lately. Partly it's because we're now seeing some of the bigger software companies seriously embrace lightweight SOA recently, and it's also because we're...
