REST vs SOA imaginary discussion
I found a great reading about the REST vs SOA issue. Duncan Cragg presents an imaginary dialogue with an imaginary eBay
Architect, where they compare doing enterprise integration with a REST approach vs their current API.

Getting Data | The REST Dialogues
In an exclusive nine-part dialogue with an imaginary eBay
Architect, we present an accessible discussion of the
REST vs. SOA issue.Although eBay have what they call a ‘REST’ interface, it is, in
fact, a
STREST
interface, and only works for one of the many function calls
that they make available via SOAP (GetSearchResults).In this dialogue series,
I argue the case for eBay to adopt a truly REST approach to
their integration API.
