More Switching: Build your own Sherlock 3 searches

For the the more XML aware of the switchers amongst us, Apple has now released the Sherlock 3 channel development kit - a useful piece of code building that helps you create your own Sherlock channels and searches. Now, mix that with the Amazon and Google SDKs, and there's something very interesting starting to take shape: desktop web services.

Now, can I use it with Rendezous? UPnP web service management: a scary scary thought.

Well, one could consider that what is missing is a visualisation metaphor for webservices and interations with them. In some ways the web, xml et al has stepped away from the visual metaphor, to the textual (if visually manipulated) description.....

... one you have that visualisation, things could be way more interesting and accessible.
