One of the entertaining things about being working at large vendor like Oracle is how you have the opportunity to use a lot of different levers to make a ruckus about your product stuff. However, more often than not, it often seems like when you try your hardest to use those levers seemingly little noise is made and when you try the least sometimes more noise happens than you ever expected.
Take for example Web Services Journal where we have been on a bit of a run getting a pretty good set of articles on BPEL, WSIF and Web services published over the last few months but mostly from Oracle folks. These are hard work and usually are somewhat brutal efforts at the last minute with all nighters pulled, engineering reviews to make sure they are accurate etc. These are great pieces and hopefully provide good insight into what our engineering teams are doing but in all honesty happen under much stress.
Then literally out of the blue we get Brian Barbash doing a solid review of our 10.1.2 Web services infrastructure - no work on our side and even better, a pretty reasonably accurate bit of coverage. Check it out:

This garners OracleAS Web Services the "Web Services Journal World Class Award". Now if only all product reviews could be like this, product management would be a piece of cake! As noted in the sidebar, 10.1.3 brings a whole new class of functionality to the table but it is good to have a level setting with 10g 10.1.2.
