   I think it's probably time for an autonomous post on the subject of bought-and-buried Web services.

     @evan at least they don't hide it. it's worse when company buys it and then just lets it ferment (jaiku comes to mind)

     @evan Sometimes you really want FNS and/or paying for Web services. At least then you can have some confidence in them.

     @evan Today's users seem willing and able to reverse-engineer bought-and-buried services, taking matters into their own hands.

     @evan Absolutely. Don't forget to make the analogy between various siloed communication systems and the federated email system (which won).
