Amazon.com has received a public airing of its patent application for an online marketplace where consumers search and pay for Web services.
Amazon.com's Web services model has impressed experts who believe the online retailer is far ahead of its rivals.
Online retailer Amazon.com has filed for a patent on a method for auctioning Web advertisements, a move that raises questions about the company's interest in the ad market.
After much hype, confusion and scepticism, a handful of Internet companies are trying to do something that has stubbornly eluded the high-tech industry: turn the vague concept of "Web services" into a reality for the greater Internet.
Launched five years ago, Web Services business "is an investment," says CEO Jeff Bezos.
Amazon engineer DeWitt Clinton's ringing endorsement of Atom over RSS as the XML flavour of choice for syndicated feed content for discerning geeks made headlines yesterday, although the points he makes have been made before.

A few months later than originally planned, Mozilla has released the first beta version of Firefox 3, the widely used open-source Web browser. Firefox 3 beta 1 includes a number of features that Mozilla says should improve security, ease of use, rendering of Web pages and location of previously visited Web pages.
