Ten years ago
sales ppl/marketers used to do for a living is yell at strangers
that we would buy tv commercials
hope that strangers are sought
and if enough strangers are sought
they would send us money
we’d rent a phone lister
send her sales people out
call on purchasing agents
and if call on enough purchasing agents
we’d sell stuff
and that’s what we did for a hundred years
then the web came along

Applications are pieced together, in a number of characteristics:
– applications are relatively small, – data in the cloud
– applications can run on any device pc or mobile phone
– applications are fast and very customizable
– applications are distributed virally, by social networks, by email (won’t go to store and purchase them)
Solves a lot of problems and works everywhere…
