During a recent presentation that I made about mashups, two interesting questions came up. First, what is the connection between SOA and mashups. The second question was about the relevance of mashups and Web 2.0 technologies to the enterprise. I recently found several articles on these topics. John Hagel has a
writeup that compares SOA to Web 2.0 and has pointers to many other blogs on the subject. Web 2.0 journal has a
piece highlighting the user-driven nature of Web 2.0 being an impediment to enterprise acceptance. Two other blogs, one by
Nick Carr and another by
Andrew McAfee are good reads on the topic.
