Gill Cleeren recently started a new Windows 8 article series in which he's discussing the options you have to connect your Windows 8 apps to services.
The 4th part from the series was just published, read it here:
From the author:
Welcome to what is already part 4 in this article series on working with services from Windows 8 applications. We started out this series by looking at how Windows 8 apps can integrate with services, including WCF, REST and ASMX services. In the previous part, we've started our detour by looking at how we can upload and download external data using the background transfers in Windows 8. In this very article, we continue our little detour by looking at how tiles can interact with the outside world. This way, they can show up-to-date information and engage the user to start your application more often.
