    Business Catalyst offers a SOAP api. Whether or not that counts as a 'major consumer service' I don't know, but by extension any site built on the platform uses it as well.

      TIL! That's interesting (And scary).

    There are many companies that use SOAP for historical reasons or because "it's business-ready as it uses XML" (I've really heard this one, trust me).

  I got this when trying to access the link: --------------- Application Error An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details. --------------- That page must be using SOAP! :-) T.
