WebOS is the FUTURE
The idea is novel and its really sound! I've always believe it to be true that the inevitable is the web browser will be the OS eventually. Web + OS = WebOS. Its interesting to see how things will take off from here. This is very much like what happened in the late 80s to 90s where folks were moving from thin client to thick client (green screens to desktops) which contributed in Microsoft's Windows growth. Now having looked at this new phenomenon, the leader this new movement would take off where MS last left. It could be Google or it could be someone else. Who knows? Only the future holds the answer. Let's wait and see.

Identifying Service Candidates
These are the set of question one needs to answer before embarking on the quest of marking a software project as a service candidate. They are not really the ONLY guideline but its just few of the many things that you should consider asking first. Consider it sort of a checklist before moving on further in the game.
Could this functionality be appropriately designed to satisfy the definition of a service as stated in this chapter?
Does the service exchange business documents or fall readily into one of the three general service categories identified in Section 1.5.
Would a business person be interested in reports on the output of this service? Would IT be interested in monitoring its life cycle or runtime? Or perhaps it represents a functional or utility service that in the long term could increase general business agility. (If none of these, it may be too small an operation to merit a place in the service catalog.)
Is the proposed service the right level of granularity? (If it is very fine-grained, this will weaken the interface aspect of the contract, shrink the possibility of reuse, and promote undue chattiness. If it is very coarse-grained, it could be a candidate for a process service that decomposes into other entity or functional services.)
