Re: Etymology of "web service"

Thats all Im looking for

The orgin of the phrase "web service". Not the meaning or definition

After digging a bit it seems the orginal term was "e-services" and
was coined by HP. This seems to have been transformed in to
"web services" in Microsofts initial marketing blitz.
