Matt,

What aspects of the "Web Services picture" might you be referring to?

The current and emerging standards/specifications? The overlaps

between/within consortiums? Interoperability or lack thereof between

various specifications/standards? Interoperability or lack thereof

between various Web Services-based application frameworks?

The list goes on...

I'm sure there is something interesting to see there, its just too > dark and out of focus.

#18 - web service articles are everywhere in magazines - but noone is

quite certain about the accuracy of the details in them

#13 - everyone has their own ideas about how they'd like to do web services

#12 - its hard to describe to your neighbours what you are doing with web

services

#11 - people who are not really doing web services will say they are anyway

#10 - a lot of rich people and PR machines are behind web services

#9 - web services looks like its just life on a beach but in reality its

much more

confusing and complex than that

unforeseen side effects from things that might be revelled later that

took

place earlier that you did not know about

most people are doing it anyway while they have the chance and

hoping it will all be alright later

#6 - web services are all over the internet and in junk mail

#5 - web services are young, make a lot of noise, and some of the things

they do are crude and shocking

#4 - doing things with web services probably means alot of late nights

and having to fix up messy loose ends before someone notices

#3 - there is no standard way of doing web services but people will take

anything that web services are doing and then sell them for as much

as they can get

#2 - web services are trying to become things that they are not, but would

like to be somehow

#1 - web services can do absolutely anything you want them to do - and in

ways you never even thought possible.
