RPC and REST are both used to implement Web services, and that's where the semantic similarities end. I only brought it up because Amazon touts DynamoDB as REST, but it's anything but. I find it aggravating when some noob creates a Web service and slaps a REST label on it because he read an article about it, but doesn't understand what it means. Even worse, Amazon does have experience creating actual REST services, so you would think someone there would have stopped the announcement and corrected the online docs and marketing blurbs.
