Colophon

The animal on the cover of Web 2.0 Architectures is a banded linsang. It can be found in Western Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Thailand, and Indonesia. It lives in tropical forests and spends the majority of its time in trees. Its body is long and slender, with a narrow head, pronounced snout, and a short coat that is soft and velvety. When hunting, its slender body moves like a snake, well camouflaged by its coat. It has very sharp retractable claws and razor-sharp teeth that allow it to shear its food. Its diet mainly consists of lizards, birds, rats, and squirrels, which are their favorites.
