ONLINE APPLICATION PLATFORM AND USER COMMUNITIES

摘要

A method and a system provide an online application platform in which an entity may create applications to be shared among users of a user community. The online application platform may provide the users of the user community with information regarding applications and entities and may provide the users with an interface for providing feedback with respect to the applications and the entities. The online application platform may track usage of the applications and may store data with respect to the tracked usage. The data may be used to generate business intelligence, which may be used to improve the applications, market the applications, or for other useful purposes. The users of the user community may subscribe to an information update service to receive dynamically communicated application updates, or other information.
