Benjamin,

Not only do I think that what you are doing is indeed "shameless self 
promotion", but I think that you are seriously misunderstanding the 
concept of SaaS and promoting bad information about RoR and SaaS on the 
web.

Did you read through the points John asked about above?

He is asking about:
-Scalability
-Multi-tenant database design
-Configurability
-Security

These points are expressed in more detail in the article at 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479069.aspx
but unfortunately there is little RoR specific information about them on 
the web.

>From what you write on your website, the only thing you are providing is 
a billing system. Labeling that as "SaaS" is misleading in the extreme.
