Remember a month ago, when I urged the open source developers to take on this software and develop something equivelant and multi-platform? It seems that the only people who actually got interested in my $100 USD offer... was Apple.

Do not confuse the term "Web Services" of Watson/Sherlock to what Sun, IBM and Microsoft are doing for their SunONE, and .NET technologies. It is not the same. The effect is similar, but it is a bit innacurate to call Watson/Sherlock a 'web service' when comparing them to a real web service as the above companies offer with their latest products. What Watson/Sherlock do, is literally leaching data off the web.
But yes, 'Web Services' are the next big thing. All big companies agree on that, for a change! Please read my editorial of last February about it.
