PUBLIC MARKS from mozkart with tags webservices & "web 2.0"

Anyway here is (in no particular order) a list of the web 2.0 lists and other helpful product data that I've found on the Web.

The coming Web Service Tsunami Any application can be rewritten as a web based service. Salesforce.com is an excellent example of taking an existing client server application and rewriting it as a web based service. Hotmail is a web based email service. IBM is pushing hard with its "On Demand" software as a service program. Consumer focused web based services are often cited as examples, and there are lots of them. But enterprise applications are where the big money is and entrepreneurs know this. In the web service model a developer can code a feature or bug fix in the morning, test it in the afternoon, and have it deployed to millions of users by the end of the day. Innovation is instant, and continuous. Contrast this to the traditional software development method that takes years to develop, test, and ship. Then large corporations will only update their application infrastructure once a year. So it can take years to get a feature to the ultimate end user. Today Google, MSN, Amazon, Yahoo, eBay, Salesforce.com, and hundreds of start-ups are delivering applications as web services. For the purposes of this discussion Web Service will mean any software functionality that does not require a client download.
