Saw this video via a Disqus comment:
Video: Rails creator DHH interviewed by Jason Calacanis on This Week in Startups
Started watching, seems interesting. Might want to skip some of the start where a show viewer calls in, to get to the main story.
At some part it is like the interviewee is interviewing the interviewer. Video also embedded below.

Pulley, site to sell your downloadable stuff
By Vasudev Ram
Pulley (pulleyapp.com) is a site that allows you to sell your downloadable stuff of any kind. It seems to be something like Gumroad.
I got to know about Pulley via an email newsletter that I get.
From the home page of the Pulley site:
[ Pulley is a simple way to sell your digital art, music, videos, photography, fonts, eBooks, software, and other downloadable products. ]
They have a 14-day free trial (*). Their plans start from $6 per month and can be seen here.
(*) To use the free trial, you have to sign up for one of the paid trials, and then cancel withing 14 days if you don't want to pay and continue using the service. The site says that no credit card is required to sign up.

The ERPNext Story (a Python-based ERP package)
By Vasudev Ram
ERPNext is an ERP package developed by Web Notes Technologies, a Mumbai based company. I got to know about them and their product some time ago when I exchanged emails with the founder. Checked them out again recently. I found the product and company interesting.
ERPNext is developed using Python, JavaScript, MySQL and their own web framework called wnframework (Github).
ERPNext recently received a mention at the InfoWorld BOSSIE awards, 2013.
Excerpt from the above award page (emphasis mine):
[ ERPNext is a relative newcomer in the world of integrated, open source ERP. This India-based project is targeting smaller companies but has managed to pack in a lot of features while remaining relatively easy to use and configure. Built with Python and JavaScript, ERPNext is fully Web-based and quite comprehensive, recently adding an integrated website and shopping cart for selling online. ... the core team posts presentations every month to update the community on news and strategy. This project has a bright future. ]
This is the ERPNext story:
Here are some of their customer stories.
And finally, I liked this line from the bottom of their About page:
[ This website is generated from within ERPNext. ERPNext has a basic Content Management System that lets you define pages, blogs for your website. ]

CloudJee from Pramati: Java apps in the cloud
CloudJee | Mission Critical Java Apps in the cloud
CloudJee is a Java cloud apps company/product from Pramati, an Indian software company.

http://pramati.com/about
http://m.prnewswire.com/news-releases/announcing-cloudjee-the-proven-cloud-platform-for-building-mission-critical-java-saas-applications-208471431.html
I remember Pramati from the early days of Java and J(2)EE. They were the first and maybe the only Indian company to create a J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition - now called JEE) application server. Interesting to see that they have been existing all this while, and have come out with CloudJee.
CloudJee/Pramati also recently acquired WaveMaker, a tool for building Java apps, from VMware, and have integrated it into CloudJee.

Freakingly fascinating article by pmarca (Marc Andreessen)
Marc Andreessen On The Future Of Enterprise - TechCrunch
I blogged it in last post but blogging it again after reading more of the article (50 short pages on my mobile) because I think it is worth reading for anyone interested in the future of (Internet) technology vis-a-vis business, whether they agree with it or not, even though I'm not sure I understand or agree with all the points mentioned - he covers many topics.

Peterpings, SaaS app to tell many tech blogs about your app
iPhone App Marketing. Notify Over 150 Tech Blogs About Your New App - Peterpings
Interesting idea.
Seen via Hacker News.
HN thread about it has many positive comments:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4992585
Seems to be only for iPhone apps, though.
It should be possible to make such an app for other platforms like desktop, web and other mobile platforms like Android.

Appsembler, a SaaS enablement service for open source web apps
By Vasudev Ram
Appsembler is a SaaS enablement platform for open source web apps.
From the Appsembler site: "We help developers monetize their software, and make it painless for end users to try their software."
This is the Appsembler main page for developers.
Saw Appsembler via a chain of links. Only checked it out a little so far, but live chatted with one of the founders, Nate Aune. He said it runs on Stackato, the PaaS from ActiveState.
Multiple programming languages and web frameworks are supported, according to Nate, but for Python, only Django is, currently. Also, it works better if you have a Github account for your SaaS app.
Here is a blog post by Nate about Django deployment using PaaS.

SaaS Commerce Network, global business network for SaaS apps
By Vasudev Ram
Saw this via Eqentia:
This could be a big deal for SaaS app vendors:
Excerpts from the article:
"SaaS Markets has unveiled a major global business network for Software-as-a-Service Web applications, the SaaS Commerce Network or SCN. The network, which covers at least 71 million businesses, can be advantageously used by SaaS application developers to distribute their SaaS based apps across the world."
"An application provider will receive instant publicity in 32 stores across the globe, in 23 different countries by becoming a member of the SCN. SaaS Markets is working to increase the exposure to at least 100 stores in 2012. Businesses can find out the latest app for simplifying any process in a rapid manner with SCN, where hundreds of new SaaS apps will be introduced every month. SaaS providers are therefore provided with a rapid and simplified method to market their SaaS app to a worldwide business network."
