[...] Scoble links to Spatially Adjusted in a non-GYM post, maybe Public ArcWeb Services 2006 is timed just right to take advantage of this Google Mapping rut people seem to be in. Heck, I bet Scoble doesn’t even know about ArcGIS Explorer, all the fun of Google Earth, but none of the “GYM” baggage. [...]

[...] A perfect example to why quarterly publications aren’t valuable anymore is the latest ArcNews. The ESRI rss feed sums it up perfectly, “User Conference highlights and Image Server news among the top stories“. Both topics are important, but quite dated. If ArcNews was more relevant to current news the top stories should be ArcWeb 2006 and the ArcGIS Visual Studio .NET Integration Framework.

I don’t know much about ArcWeb other than the demo’s I played with at the UC, but from what I saw this is no doubt the most impressive Internet Mapping product ESRI has created to date.

Why mess around with server farms and keeping map servers running if you can let someone else do all of that?

Worth checking out for sure…

I’ve been waiting for REST support since I heard about it at the UC!

I’ve been avoiding ArcWeb because of SOAP, so REST is welcome news. I’m wondering if I should sign up now, or wait until it is officially released as I’d hate to put effort into something that might change.

Why can’t all of ESRI’s webpages look that nice?

I wish I knew more about programming as this ArcWeb looks really nice. Hopefully others can create and share some good ArcWeb mashups.
