Web Things, by Mark Baker

Nasty URLs, but they’ll soon discover the problems with them by using them themselves.

“Over the last few years I have seen the light and come to appreciate the wonderful, messy, hacked-together, really useful real world of the web”

“Case in point: The Web services alphabet soup of WSDL, SOAP and UDDI. These standards enable unprecedented interoperability among critical business applications.” *groan*

Via eekim, a nice “Wiki API”. None of the Flickr-inspired method-in-the-URI ugliness.

*sigh* Wiki’s already have the equivalent of “GetPage” – it’s called HTTP GET on the page’s URI.

“If you plan on using V4 on or after October 1, you have two options”. More Google evolution problems. Why are they burdening their many users with implementation details?

Congrats to Luis. Totally deserving, IMO.

“But the question involves something of a category mistake”. Exactly (regarding RDF vs. XML).

Good discussion. Remind me to jot down my thoughts one day…

Tim doesn’t deserve this. His vision for the Web was far richer than what was deployed from 1991 to 2004. However, the W3C should be taking far more flack for poo-pooing Javascript’s importance.

Only 7% of SOA projects exceeded expectations. Main reason? “introduced more complexity into IT system”. No shit, Sherlock!

“Laugh and the world laughs with you, get killed by a benign piece of seafood and the world laughs too apparently” 8-)

“The fact is the most successful web services – since the beginnings of the web – were social software applications”

Pipelining! For XML! With new URI schemes! Sigh. CRISP continues to reinvent the (Web) wheel.

Two RESTafarians on one team. Ooohh.

Nice pic, Stefan 8-)
