Dion Hinchcliffe’s comments
I'm noodling around on some definitional and architectural notions about the emerging Platform-as-a-Service space around both online software platforms as well as the emerging business platform space.
What I have here is close but needs work and input. Please offer your feedback if you can and I will incorporate it into the next version.
Still waiting to hear from:

Yes Peter, I'm trying to convey "type of" more than "part of" but there is a little bit of both here.
But yes, SaaS is type of PaaS usually these days, though not always (depends on how open the pieces are) and I can convey that, and probably will in the next version.

Hi Dion -
What is the containment relationship depicting here?
It is not "part of", meaning an End-User Mashup is not a "part of" every SaaS offering. Perhaps is it "type of"? I.E an End-User Mashup is a "type of" SaaS offering.
But then a SaaS offering is not really a "type of" PaaS offering. Meaning, I wouldn't call Netsuite (a SaaS offering) a "type of" PaaS.
Maybe "built on"?
I hope this question makes sense!

How does this address services like ID management? Or is that a (type of) service that falls outside of the PaaS construct? Or maybe it is included in one of the bubbles and I missed it...

It sure looks pretty ;-)
I was playing with this the other day but I was thinking there could be instances where a customer would want privacy options, such as PW protection and/or IP allow/block.
This is only good for crowdsourcing (which is great), nothing private.
