This is a "me too" blog post echoing DHH's sentiments, but it is always useful to see the model work for more people.

Their example re: dropsend and how they're turning a $200k profit with no additional time or effort is impressive.

One question i have is how the accounting is done for the $200k profit, bearing in mind the app benefits from the wider business (Carsonified events etc). As a standalone app it might be paying more for marketing, legal/ accounting, management overhead etc
