Good O'Reilly Article on Web Service Queuing

From Fun With Amazon's Simple Queue Service:

“I tried to think "out of the box" for my sample SQS application. Why not a chat application? It makes perfect sense, or no sense at all, depending on your perspective.“

This is really cool! Yes, even though the Amazon service technically competes with WSMQ, I really don't see it that way. This idea is so new, and it's so early in the game, that anyone entering the market is good news for everyone. Plus, who really wants to compete with Amazon?

My thoughts on this are that we'll be able to compete with their service in terms of features, security, and .NET integration. We just gotta get some more samples out there for WSMQ! Um. How about WSMQ Chat? :)
