PATRICK GRADY'S CALCULATED DEBUT

How did Patrick Grady manage to build his service when others have failed? How did he draw in big-name customers? In addition to his forceful personality, 10 years in high-tech venture capital gave him extraordinary access. In the early development phase, for example, senior technologists from Ariba, BEA, BellSouth, CommerceOne, Genesys Labs, Palm, and Sun got together once a week to advise him on architecture. That lends some credibility to Grady's claim that his platform will become "the global de facto standard for how you describe and discover and deliver and transact for services." http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BEA7A8:353CA35

SOA APPS MEET REALITY

TECH EXECS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Say what you will about Carly Fiorina; she sure is resilient. The former Hewlett-Packard CEO has yet to play her next card (at press time), but in view of her corporate, political, and academic connections, there's probably no cookbook in the works. But what about other IT luminaries of days past -- names synonymous with "game changer" and "golden parachute"? http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BEA7A7:353CA35

======================================================================

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YESTERDAY'S HOT TECHNOLOGIES?

Remember push technology? Or virtual reality for the Web? Or Microsoft Bob? Some ideas are probably better left consigned to history. And yet the roadside of the information superhighway is littered with ideas that sounded promising but never quite made it to revolution status before dropping off IT's radar. http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BEA7A9:353CA35
