Hi Adam,
I actually fairly hate web services. The whole idea strikes me
as rather blarghy; my data is mine, and I really don't want you
to have it.

If you look at this diagram:

Many different modules within an enterprise levels applications may
need to be able to exchange information with each others.
Sale Force Automation is most likely something like: SugarCRM/MS Dynamic
CRM.
Financial will be using something like Oracle as ERP.
Supply Chain/Manufacturing software might be SAP.
They all will have some exchange data among themselves from various
physical locations and various physical servers behind different firewalls.
SOA (Webservices / JMS/ MQ) is used with XML for data information
sharing for such purposes.
TIBCO is one of the major application that does just that.

BizTalk Server from MS is also within this segment of market.
Applications that are build on JAX-WS + strut / asmx + aspx
MVC model are very much welcome and accepted in various industry because
that replaces the very old RPC and EAI + Middleware approaches.
Hopefully you might consider doing something about it for even PHP has
some form of Webservices support.
