Maybe my memory is poor but I seem to recall SmugMug being somewhat similar in its early days for photo hosting. Svbtle could have done similarly in the blogging space if they'd charged early on.

In terms of single/small group companies running profitable Internet services though, there are tons, not least the well known ones around here involving people like patio11 and Amy Hoy. I'd say the sky's the limit. Indeed, it might be more fun to think of what services could never suit the model..
