The trade press and analyst community have been abuzz with excitement over the potential of Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 -- broadly defined as applications or capabilities delivered over the network, such as Software as a Service and mashups, as well as collaborative tools such as blogs and wikis.

SOA and Web 2.0 share common goals, and there is enormous potential for Web 2.0 to accelerate SOA efforts. But how do we connect the dots between Web 2.0 and SOA? SOA and SaaS, for example, share common frameworks. Then there's the enhanced collaboration SOA developers and architects can achieve as a result of Web 2.0 tools. Then there's the mashup scenario, in which end-users can build their own applications -- the ultimate vision of SOA. Finallly, front-end environments such a Ajax and other rich client interfaces may help extend the "last mile" of SOA to the desktop.
