May I Service you?

It is now becoming a hot topic in the world of IT. Web Services. I read an article in Information Week about ebay and amazon web services. It is very interesting, how a successful business model can be exploited by other businesses. It even explained that ebay site is webservices enabled, which allows big players like ford, and other to sell their surplus products through auctions in ebay. Even though ROI was not yet established on ebay about web services, atleast the services concept which was just in books is now in practice.
