I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Bauzinsen aktuell

[...] API based sales – eBay allowed members to trade on their own sites rather than forcing them to eBay to trade. Revenues increased by 86% for ebay. 40% of Salesforce revenue comes from external sites (API), not their own webite. $490 million per quarter comes from Amazon API, not visiting their site. Not bad. (Thank goodness for Progammable web) [...]

[...] 1. Who’s making money on mashups? We’ve now seen cases where APIs can deliver directly to the bottom line given that over 50% of Salesforce.com transactions come via their API and more than 47% of eBay listings get posted through their API.

Die Realität zeigt, dass Anbieter, die eine solche Schnittstelle im Programm haben, deutlichen Mehrwert bieten und auch ihren Umsatz steigern können. John Musser hat in ProgrammbleWeb einmal bei drei Internet-Größen die entsprechenden Zahlen zusammengetragen. So generiert der CRM-Anbieter Salesforce bereits 40% seines Traffics durch die API. Bei Amazon wird ein Teil des Drittanbieter-Umsatzes von 490 Millionen Dollar durch die 140.000 registrierten Web-Developer generiert und EBay berichtet von 8 Milliarden WebService Zugriffen im vierten Quartal 2005. Diese Zahlen geben zwar keinen direkten Hinweis auf tatsächliche Umsatzzahlen, zeigen jedoch, welch enormes Potential die externe Nutzung der eigenen Dienste bieten kann. [...]

A different question indeed, although of course I was just curious about this specific aspect/subset of the business…
