    Web services are nothing but providing some service like free or paid email like hotmail and gmail. You can start providing free chat service to users where users just login to your site and chat with each other that is called web service.

    Hope this helps!

    Almost any kind of service you can think of that is distributed on the web.

    Im not clear on what you're asking but will try my best to answer.

    There are web services of different types, for example SaaS (Software as a Service) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_as_a_service

    There are premium services, free services and something called freemium, they can be B2B (Business to Business) or B2C (Business to Consumer) it goes beyond this though.

    I have a feeling though that maybe you are asking about something else, hopefully this answer wont be a complete waste of time :)

    Web Services can convert your applications into Web-applications. Web Services are published, found, and used through the Web.

    Some of these answers are not quite correct.

    A web service such as a WSDL or WCF service allow you to write code from as simple to a hello world app to a full fledged world class data driven application.

    What the service does is allow Web application, standard desktop application, silverlight applications, flash/flex applications, mobile phone applications etc all use that same service to retrieve data.


    The benefit is you write one service and it can easily be used in virtually any app in any language on any platform.


    For example, you create code that downloads and converts video files in a web app. That web app is the only thing that can download and covert videos. If you wrote the download and conversion as a service you could reference that service and create a desktop app, an Iphone app, a Windows phone app and a web app very easily without rewriting all the code. You would only need to code the reference calls and your user interfaces.

    Web Services are the application or any kind of data storage or other user's requirements full-filling services aimed at providing the user the benefit of using an internet connection. Services like e-mail service, data storage services comes under the category of web-services. E-commerce web-sites are also parts of web services.

    Web services are Web based applications that use open, XML-based standards and transport protocols to exchange data with clients. Web services are developed using Java Technology APIs and tools provided by an integrated Web Services Stack called Metro. The Metro stack consisting of JAX-WS, JAXB, and WSIT, enable you to create and deploy secure, reliable, transactional, interoperable Web services and clients
