The term "Web Services" was once synonymous with SOAP, but many improvements and variations have sprung up over the past few years. Some, like Yahoo!'s pioneering use of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), are targeted squarely at the new generation of Web 2.0 applications and eliminate the notion that Web Services must even involve XML. In this session, Yahoo! Technical Evangelist Jason Levitt describes the family of Yahoo! Web Services and how they are being used by developers and businesses worldwide.

committed to the proliferation of unstructured text known as "the web,"
you can let loose a stream of his miscellany by putting "Jason Levitt"
