We hear that web services will permit business applications to discover each other on the web and interact in meaningful ways without human intervention. I think we are a long ways from that. But Semantic Web advocates tell me that someday my toaster will talk to my wristwatch. Both visions sound awfully similar, but I think the web services hype is grounded a bit more firmly in reality, right now. Quite apart from that, there are plenty of cases of developers getting useful work done today with web services. Very few of them are paying too much attention to the hype; they are focusing on what they can do today, and they can accomplish quite useful things today.
