WOA wins hands-down over SOA in popularity contest

SOA harder to understand?: I still don't think i have really understood either SOA or WOA. It looks like most people think WOA is simpler, so it probably is (i do tend to believe the wisdom of the crowds).
However, last week i read Eric Roch's blog(*) and he pointed at the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) APIs. And the difference in complexity is striking; to me it looks like the SOAP API wins hands down. Are there any public APIs that prove the opposite?
