Sidenote: (a.) &#8220;REST&#8221; is an idea like &#8220;Democracy&#8221; or &#8220;Christianity,&#8221; good luck getting any agreement on what it actually looks like in practice, and (b.) better luck having the canonical use be practical.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.danga.com\/memcached\/\">memcache<\/a> meme &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gear6.com\/\">Gear6<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northscale.com\/\">North Scale<\/a>, so on and so forth.
