  • Web-Based Instant Messenger with ASP.NET, Remote Scripting and WSMQ

    A few weeks ago, an article appeared on O'Rielly that showed an example chat application that utilized Amazon's Simple Queue service to store chat messages.

  • 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?

  • Why WSMQ?

    I got this email today from someone: Subject: Why WSMQ over MSMQ What would cause a person to choose one over the other?
