| Education/Technology Tangling the Web - How Web services are changing the Internet. By Bill Barnes: "It's a fairly simple piece of technology. In essence, a Web service is just a special type of Web page, but instead of being formatted prettily for the human eye, the page is formatted for a computer to read. The technology makes it easy for some Web site developers (like Amazon's) to produce such a page and for other developers (like me) to retrieve the information therein. Suddenly any Web site (including yours) can display up-to-the-minute information from Amazon, Google (or Intel Innovation in Education), whether it be "people who bought my book also bought ïFC9" or "the top 10 news stories on the Web.""
