One of the most interesting replies we got to our question was from Aaron Fulkerson of
MindTouch. Aaron says that the next step is for developers to engineer for concurrent processing; to make APIs not just interoperable but intelligently orchestrated to be called in concert. The idea here is to create multi-step or functional mashups. He didn't just come up with that off the top of his head on the floor of the Web 2.0 Expo - it turns out that Mindtouch offers an Open Source framework to accomplish exactly what he's describing as the flavor of the future.
