This reminds me of the lead paragraph of an article I recently read on Apache Axis, which says:
Web services have been a buzzword for a while. A friend used to say "Web services are like high school sex. Everyone is talking about doing it, but hardly anyone is, and those that are probably aren't doing it well." These days, though, Web services are moving to college, so to speak, and lots of people are starting to "do it" more often and better than before. Tools are maturing, and creating and working with Web services isn't all that hard anymore.
The article is here:

I don't know about the numbers quoted in the InfoWorld article, but interesting web services are popping up. Google has an interesting example:
