Subject: Caitalization of Web Services
Hi all,
the new buzz word in Internet technologies is "Web Services"--or "web
services"--or "Web services." This technology is an approach that
enables
distributed applications to be accessed with standard Internet
protocols.
Think of the new iSynch platform that Apple just announced--synchronize
your PDA, iPod, and telephone from the Web.
So, the problem I'm encountering is how to capitalize it. I'm leaning
strongly to the third option. That is, Web should be capitalized, but
services should not.
Any takers?
tia,
joe
