For mine, the challenge of extremely loosely coupled architecture is a balance of speed to do something versus actually thinking about what needs to be done and analysing it properly. I love the idea of being able to configure and do more rapidly. But it is a bit like taxonomies - if people stat freestyling with their metadata you end up with lots of individual taxonomies but nothing central -good for the individual and bad for the enterprise. Thanks again Eric.... Thanks Eric, always great to get your feedback and input.

The topics were good and definitely items industry is seriously looking at. For instance, in the past fortnight I've attended two presentations on the SOA and both covered the significance of Web 2.0. Gartner citing that we are moving from Web 1.0/SOA to Web 2.0/Advanced SOA. This transistion moving away from loosely coupled architectures to extremely loosely coupled architectures that will transistion through an event driven architecture to ultimately an adaptive SOA architecture. NB: I'd never heard of Shrook until your presentation. Its now replaced Safari as my RSS reader. An excellent presentation yet again Justin.

Based on the vibe around town, Web 2.0 appears to be something that hasnt captivated the minds of CIOs who grapple with more mundane issues such as outsourcing, governance and the skills shortage - yet. Whilst Web 2.0 offers many potential benefits to businesses, I believe this technology will be driven by Marketing departments initially who seek to empower the customer through creative marketing (i.e. social networking). Technologists who generally tend to be practical (aka die for the command prompt) will also need to become more artistic and creative to fully realise Web 2.0 (aka developers using Visual Studio and Photoshop). Anyhow must dash before my Microsoft Office suite depreciates to nothing - apparently Web 2.0 based productivity applications are making it obsolete.

I hope this post generates more feedback and I hope you get a chance to put up the other material mentioned. Outside of developers, I do not know many business savvy people who have their heads around Web 2.0 All that said, I have heard rumors to this effect: Web 2.0 is the start of the death of personal PC software -- online accessible apps and functionality (like <a href="http://writer.zoho.com/jsp/home.jsp?targetURL=%2Findex.do" rel="nofollow">Zoho Writer</a> or the more accepted Google Maps) will make collaboration and Web-based communities more powerful and synergy between parties more common. Consequently, changing the way much of business is currently done. Have you heard anything like that? -Eric Good questions Justin.
