Does SOA exist?

I really liked Clemens Vasters' post on why SOA (Service Oriented Arhcitecture) doesn't exist: Another way to look at it is: there isn't anything new in SOA that isn't part of good architecture anyhow.

What is Metadata?

The best explanation of metadata I've seen so far is in Rebecca Dias's blog: She explained how SWF (Single, White, Female) is more clear in context:

Searching Within Blogs?

So simple: Use technorati. Just add your search term after http://www.technorati.com/search . Yes, I know, they have a user interface, but who has the time to click on 'submit' nowadays? for example
http://www.technorati.com/search/yaniv%20pessach

why use technorati? well, blogs update fast. Google updates slow. Why read last months' news?
