There's a new firestorm brewing in web services architectures. Cloud services are being talked up as a fundamental shift in web architecture that promises to move us from interconnected silos to a collaborative network of services whose sum is greater than its parts. The problem is that the protocols powering current cloud services (SOAP and a few other assorted HTTP-based protocols) are all one way exchanges. Therefore cloud services aren't real-time, won't scale, and often can't clear the firewall. The solution is XMPP (a.k.a. Jabber) . Never heard of it? In just a couple of years Google, Apple, AOL, IBM, Livejournal and Jive have all jumped on board. Saved By: John Lascurettes | View Details | Give Thanks
