Serving Web Applications as a Business Model [ via Scripting News ]

The article extolls the virtues of three tiered applications: DBMS, Application Logic (using PHP, embPerl, ASP, Servlets, etc.), and Display. The Web is, of course, the way to deploy these. You know that, we’ve known it for the past two years. What the article says that is new, is that the ISP should be thinking about selling the web application as the product.

How about a service that allows a user to create and manage her own Web log? They log in, edit and update links. They don’t have to futz with HTML. That’s what’s behind More Like This right now. Only it supports a single user. Moving to a multi-user model wouldn’t be a stretch. How about selling access to a ‘personal Slashdot’ framework for $10/month?
