Web Services Rules to Live By

Fred Wilson:

So, here is my short list of Web Services Rules To Live and Die By:

• Allow the users to easily get all of their data out of a web service anytime they want.
• Don't hold users captive and let them remove themselves from the service.
• Always shut down a service that users rely on in an orderly and professional fashion.
