Oh, man! I'm totally into the little apps thing :-) It's one of the main
reasons I use Twisted so much. Here are a few posts I wrote about this
topic in 2004 and 2005:

If you haven't seen it, you might also have some thoughts to add to this
blog post that discusses (in part) de/composable services as functions
passed over the network (note that it's part of a 7-post series):

Thanks again for sharing! I'd missed that post by Ian Bicking -- I'm
glad he's embracing the small apps thing, too. This seems like a natural
evolution of software development and deployment... I'm glad it's
beginning to manifest as a meme in the industry :-)
