SharePoint as Mashup Platform?
spindruiz@... 15th May 2007
Excellent stuff, Dion.

I've been looking at a number of emerging mashup platforms, most of them startup companies taking turns telling the composite application story. While a lot of them have promise, I find myself wondering how they will compete with the big boys (IBM, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, etc.) beyond the time horizon of the current hype cycle.

In particular, I'd be interested in your thoughts about Microsoft SharePoint in the mashup context. While it's probably one major release cycle from enabling this at a high level, doesn't SharePoint have (or promise) everything the enterprise needs in a mashup platform?
