enabling a user to create a website page with said WBS;

enabling said user to add multiple instances of a same third party application (TPA) to said website page;

assigning a unique instance name to one of said multiple instances of said TPA; and

2 . The method of claim 1 also comprising enabling client software to interact with said one of said multiple instances of said TPA via said permalink.

3 . The method of claim 1 wherein said assigning a unique instance name is done by said user.

4 . The method of claim 1 wherein said assigning a unique instance name is done automatically by said WBS.

a uniform resource location (URL) composer to assign a unique name to one of said multiple instances of said TPA and to provide a permalink to specific content in said one of said multiple instances of said TPA; wherein said permalink is a composite uniform resource locator (URL) comprising a first portion corresponding to said website page, a second portion corresponding to said unique instance name of said one of said multiple instances, and a third portion corresponding to an internal URL of the TPA that identifies said specific content.

8 . The system of claim 7 also comprising a proxy coordinator to enable client software to interact with one of said multiple instances of said TPA via said permalink.

9 . The system of claim 7 wherein said assigning a unique instance name is done by said user.

10 . The system of claim 7 wherein said assigning a unique instance name is done automatically by said WBS.

11 . The system of claim 7 said web page composer to enable said user to add instances of multiple but different third party applications to said website page and assigning a unique name to at least one instance.
