The web application development knows a great progress in the web 2.0 era. Services today are not limited to the PHP, HTML, JavaScript and Database, but are more and more focused on interaction with other applications, other webservices or the browser.


One Service Websites
You can find today very popular websites with just one simple service and an open API. While webservices was available since long time, it started to be really used only very recently. The idea is to develop strong small service and let developers (or users) create easily mashups of their choice.
Keep it open
The more your service is original and open the more people will be interested to adopt it. Today the strategy to develop services for professional websites become profitable, you don’t need to become their concurrent, you can better find a place in the field that they lack of. If well done, the service will finish by getting acquired if the deal is better than developing a new solution from the scratch.
Add Some XUL
Don’t keep your application limited to the browser, now Firefox can be easily boosted with plugins and you can add everything you want. Lots of great applications today are a mix between a Firefox plugin and PHP application as backend. Things that you cannot do in the server-side you can easily do in the client side. Finally you have to take any opportunity to make killer apps.
Create the buzz
Since Mashups today are very IN, so be sure to create the buzz around your application. Launch a closed beta, invite only, start by inviting your friends, invite some of the important people on the web that you know or you don’t know, I’m not one of them but you can always invite me also.
Now you can easily make a good design with an original service and become popular! But the question here is how long you can keep people talking about your service!?
