I've been using web services with asmx extensions up until now. Since I've only done it that way, I don't even know what to call it. SOAP? Anyway, I'll be looking into WSDL now as I begin.

I guess I was phrasing my question poorly, also. I was wondering if there are any external providers of services that require WCF to communicate with them. I was listening to a podcast and got the impression Google lets a site import contacts and works well with Microsoft's WCF technology. Something like that.
