Yes, technology matters (sometimes very much) but always "too" (which is pity to me too because I invested 25 years into technology).
Web, unfortunately, has taught us its business value in 1999-2002 and we have learnt that it has very special and scoped. Web is innovation intechnology - yes, Wen is a blood in the communication vessels - yet, in Community - yes, but not in many areas of business. Web is not a business model (proofed by Amazon and eBay) but interaction means, IMO. - Michael ________________________________ From: Nick Gall <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 7, 2009 3:55:53 AM Subject: Re: [service-orientated-architecture] SOA is Dead On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 4:11 PM, Michael Poulin <m3pou...@yahoo. com> wrote: > > Absolutely disagree with Nick.

Technology matters too. BTW, "Web" is NOT just technology -- as I indicated in my post. The Web represents innovations in technology, community, AND business models. No need to apologize for emotions -- I love a passionate debate. -- Nick
