Web Services Interoperability by James Snell [ Snell's Blog [ Sam Ruby's Radio Weblog ]] Hey, is that a confusing attribution or what? 9:43:01 PM

New WebServices Partnership? It seems that Microsoft, IBM and BEA are setting up some sort of new WebServices standards group. These three pretty much control WebServices already, with a lot of bit players on the fringes. I wish I could divine what this really means... but I guess I'll have to wait until Thursday, unless the folks from IBM (I'm attending a meeting with some people from the WebSphere group tomorrow) can elaborate.

Google Programming Contest Joey sez: "The objective .... Google Programming Contest Joey sez: "The objective is to write a program that will do something "interesting" with the about 900,000 Web pages' worth data that's Google provides. In addition to writing the program, contestants also have to convince the judges why their program is interesting (or useful) and why it will scale (that is, handle a constantly increasing load of data that grows as the Web grows). The prize is US$10,000 in cash, a V.I.P. tour of the Google facility in Mountain View, California and possibly a chance to run their program on Google's complete billion-Web-page store."

That other radio Doc Searl's Skywave blog is growing a collection of interesting live radio feeds and commentary on radio. Doc (and a friend) got me started listening to KPIG (it's in iTunes) and now WUNC (it's not). By the way Doc, you can listen to WUNC in iTunes. Grab the URL and hit cmd-U (or Advanced -> Open Stream), paste the URL and hit OK. 8:42:21 AM
