Plusses and Minuses of web-centric applications

• very cheap: designed and operated by one person half-time
• very easy to upgrade
• as new data become available (e.g., humidity)
• as needs are articulated
• as new technology (e.g., java) becomes available
• very easy to track usage patterns (with special logs)
• easy to receive feedback (another web-based forum)
• uptime compares well with NCEP
• secure enough
