It is happening again in this decade, since like it or not, SOAP seems to be where networked applications are headed.

SOAP has been actively promoted since Sept 1999, about 32 months ago. Between June 1993, and about the same time later, Jan 1996, the Web grew from 130 to about 100,000 sites[1]. Though I can't be bothered to count them, XMethods.net[2] lists perhaps a couple of hundred Web services.

I wonder when Web services proponents will ask themselves why they're not seeing the same kind of growth that the Web saw? It couldn't be because of a lack of marketing $$$! 8-)

IMO (and to keep this on topic 8-), it's because if you have an HTTP URI, you know what methods you can invoke on it (GET being the method supported by all HTTP URI, http://api.google.com/search/beta2 notwithstanding).

You're leaving out some things that helped adoption of the web at that time: a tcp/ip stack in Windows, Netscape and dumb VC money. That's not to say the web wouldn't have taken off at some point (you'd figure someone would come up with a decent browser and an IMG tag eventually).

I think what you're talking about has something to with scaling, but the only people I know that adopt things because they are scalable (as opposed to being cool) are software architects, standards wonks, and corporate IT procurers. You're right to mark Google's api as notwithstanding. That's actually cool and useful, and I imagine not scaling is the last reason people won't program to it. Worrying about scaling is a bit like premature optimization in that sense.
