http://www.ebizq.net/blogs/cloudsoa/ This blog is your first step toward understanding the issues you will face as cloud computing and SOA converge.

IT managers must learn how to give as well as take information in this new, shareable environment, while still protecting their company's interests. Innovative companies will take advantage of these new resources and reinvent themselves as unstoppable forces in their markets. Those who don't take advantage of this revolution will become quickly outdated, perhaps out of business. en-us Copyright 2011 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 11:23:50 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.21-en http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss SOA is clearly making a comeback, typically around the emerging use of cloud computing.
