POP = presentation-oriented-publishing. An ordinary website with static
webpages is the extreme of POP.
MOM = message-oriented-middleware. A router or a firewall is the extreme of
MOM.

Most applications is in the between of MOM and POP. Being the extreme of one
or the other opens for little interactions with the user.

b2c = Business-to-consumer. Amazon.com is pretty much a b2c-type
electronic-commerce website.
b2b = Business-to-business. Companies selling mainly to other companies. For
example, vendors of components in a carmakers supply-chain, vendors of
office-suppliance etc.

Typically b2c is defined by identifying the customer as the individual make
the purchase. In b2b one identifies the customer as the company that the
individual works for.
