• A Job Interview You Don't Have to Show Up For - WSJ.com
  I could see avatars being hired for a Web Worker Jobs. But, for traditional work, I vote for first life interviews. And yes, I have avatar control problems. She sinks in floors and walks through walls. I lack the patience to train her (or me).

• SOA in Action Blog: Mashups May Help Users Better Understand SOA
  one reason mashups are so popular is the availability of services to combine. IMO, a soa adoption barrier is the lack of available services (enterprise & the wild). too much focus on SOA bottom (tech), not enough on outcomes (services)

If you are going to Gartner's AADI Summit next week, make a point of attending the User Panel: Best Practices in Advanced SOA for the Enterprise, on Wednesday, June 13 at 11:00 am.  This high talent practitioner panel was put together by the SOA Consortium.  I've had the pleasure of interacting with each panelist, Nida Davis, CTO, American Red Cross, Surekha Durvasula, EA Manager, Kohl's and Yoav Intrator, CTO, Deutsche Bank Asset Management.  Each is experienced in SOA, enterprise architecture, and delivering value to the business. 

If you are attending the co-located EA Summit, you should catch Nida's case study session with one of her former business clients at the Federal Reserve.  And while I'm recommending practitioners I enjoy speaking with, go see John Turato's case study session on SOA and the Legacy.

Normally, this is where I tell you to contact me if you'll be at the event.  However, I'll be in Cumberland MD, representing the SOA Consortium at ArchitectureGov.  I'll be hosting a roundtable discussion on SOA, enterprise architecture and business architecture.  So, if you'll be there, drop me note: bmichelson at elementallinks dot com.

[Disclosure: The SOA Consortium is a client of Elemental Links.]
