I understand very well that a service is a software which is accessed through a network.
And the description given on Wikipedia [1] is "A 'Web service' (also Web Service) is defined by the W3C as "a software system designed to support interoperable Machine to Machine interaction over a network." Now, to ending with this. I understand that (almos) everybody is pro Google (and anti Microsoft), thinking that they have given a lot of services for free. And it's very hard that people understand my thinking. All that "free service" has a great price, that are the rights about those data, and when Google want can to disable the free access to that information. People don't realize that it's one more a company and like so it has only an end, that is to obtain the greater number of benefits which will be distributed between his shareholders. Within any years Google will be as hated as Microsoft. At least I try to use the less possible those services than limit my freedoms about data that has been contributed by me and another users.
