Clay Shirky: What Web Services Got Right ... and Wrong

"Web Services has gone from a vague idea to the major trend in Internet development . . . "

"Web Services has gone from a vague idea to the major trend in Internet development . . . Web Services start to look like the way to implement peer-to-peer."

" . . . once someone gets a broadband connection they leave it on all the time."

" . . . you can't currently walk into J&R Computer World and buy 802.11b equipment, because people ask for it as it comes off the truck. When they get a shipment then they sell out that day . . . "

" . . . the bandwidth providers have not understood that unlicensed spectrum could in any way be a threat."

" . . . the general agreement that SOAP is a pretty good way to package and move data back and forth between applications is fairly widespread. . . . so many people are interested in having it work that it seems to me like it's going to work."

" . . . Web Services is more about cost savings, lowering the difficulty of doing something, more than it is about creating fabulous new sources of revenue."

" . . . people strongly prefer buying a product outright to paying an annuity for services."

" . . . one of the most important things about the technological infrastructure is, unlike the Web, call and response are in the same language. . . . With Web Services, if you can read SOAP you can write SOAP. If you can write SOAP you can read SOAP. So modulo only the firewall issue, everybody's a peer."

" . . . the standards for peer communication are actually going to come out of Web Services."
