Web Things, by Mark Baker

Sean McGrath points out that some folks (himself included) are making predictions for Web services in 2003. It’s surely an oversight that I wasn’t asked for my predictions 8-), so here they are;

• Web services will continue to struggle on the Internet. XMethods will list only 400 available-over-the-Internet services by the end of the year.
• The WSA WG will have their architecture document reviewed by the TAG and the Director. One or both of the two will reject it as being incompatible with Web architecture. Much nastiness will ensue.
