Mike Butcher interviewed me at the Future of Web Apps last week:
I interviewed Gareth Knight from Technovated.com at the Future of Web Apps conference last week but due to the WiFi being so bad and other things getting in the way since I haven’t managed to upload it until now. Yes, lame huh. Anyway, even though the sound and video is a tad out of sync, I think it’s worth showing.
Lemme know what you think? 
PS - we’ve still got some desk space going at our office in Putney…
Gareth,
You mention that you’re building some workflow APIs; have you had a look at the SOA model, and process orchestration? (You can find some ideas on orcestrationpatterns.com).
For handling availability you could simply have the person explicitly set themselves available/unavailable, or have a look at some of the material around When 2.0: http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=2236.

Hi Andrew
Yup, we’re defo looking at the SOA model. In fact, that’s all we’re looking at. Right now, we’re eating our own dogfood…
As for availability, yep, that’s the idea - and from what our research and discussions have told us, that’s the approach to take. More on that soon
