There are still some lingering questions, such as how easy it will be to use? Numeric keypads are not conducive to quick and easy text chats. Second, how excited will people be to pay for a service they enjoy for free on their desktop PCs?

Meanwhile, Lotus, Microsoft, Sun and Oracle are pushing major Web services initiatives. Analysts say that momentum is building but that users have time to sort through the hype and discover how Web services can benefit them.

SOURCE: IT Week http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,s2089820,00.html [4] "Microsoft strategy shift casts fog over Exchange" Microsoft is reducing the role it assigned Exchange 2000 and its Web Storage System, as a key development environment. The about-face means those building applications on top of the WSS, a universal repository for data, will have to design those applications so they can run against the new data store Microsoft is developing for its .Net platform. With only about 13% of Exchange users having migrated to Exchange 2000, a major portion of current Exchange shops will have to consider the implications of a new data store as they deploy Exchange 2000 and develop applications.

Instead, he said, software will be delivered over the Internet as services that allow customers to interact with them dynamically.

The Web site Cybercheese takes a poke at the purple dino with a list of "150 ways to kill the Purple Dinosaur." The Lyons Group, which owns the rights to all things Barney, raised a huff and responded by firing off a nasty cease-and-desist letter threatening a lawsuit if the list is not removed by tomorrow. Cybercheese countered with its own vulgar, unflattering letter that, in essence, told the Lyons Group that the site's parody was not infringing on Barney's trademark. It's enough to make Barney and his band of merry pre-schoolers skip recess and stand in the corner in protest.
