It's getting hot!

According to Lisa Rein at finetuning.com, DataChannel will announce an HTTP-XML object request broker tomorrow.

This protocol promises to bridge different flavors of cross-network communication protocols, including DCOM and CORBA, and theoretically Netware and AppleEvents.

I'm sure we will all work together. The Albert Einstein in me, the one that hopes for a unified theory of interapplication communication, is actually encouraged by the division.

It's all so new. So many new things to do, so many new friends to make.

We're covering it on http://www.scripting.com/.

Tune in!
