An interesting post from Andrew Thomas: the concept of building wireframes as a marketing tool to get out into your target before (or while) you work on the application itself, and generalizations of that concept (e.g. put links for possible extensions into your existing application, then work with the people who click them, etc.).

Upshot: a cookie-cutter wireframe + business process service would rock.
