Few will argue with the idea that in a time of tight budgets, pared-down IT departments, and slashed staffs, it's imperative to do more with less and adopt efficient, streamlined, and easy-to-use solutions. The tanking of the economy last September may ultimately prove a boon to the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, where ease of use and little need for tech support are major selling points.
MySpace launched the MySpace Developer Platform in February, officially opening its network to outside developers.

The cloud seems to be manna to most analysts, investors, and vendors these days. As my colleague Alan Pelz-Sharpe writes, "It's a great term, ‘Cloud Computing,' since it conjures up visions of an invisible internet—an ether-like zone in the sky where computing power and storage is unfettered by the petty restrictions of boxes, cables, and technicians. Cloud computing sounds fluffy, it sounds cool, it sounds limitless, it sounds like the future."

As anyone with kids—or a good memory—knows, when you cross the "double digits" birthday threshold, it's a big deal. This year, XML crossed this threshold on Feb. 10, and this got me thinking about questions that I might ask this 10-year-old in order to gain perspective on its past and future.
