Saas - SaaS and web 2.0 development
- Software as a service methodology has had a
significant impact on the development of modern

- Many news sites, online magazines and blogs power their commenting
features by integrating web services from service providers such as Disqus,
IntenseDebate and Facebook comments API
- Google Maps, Calendar and Youtube are now very common as embeds in
many websites. Given their dynamic structure, they are more appealing
compared to static map images or calendars.
