Peter Troxler pointed out that the Business Model Template he has been referring to is discussed here: Business Model Template

He also pointed to some reading directions:

1. the original business model template: http://business-model-design.blogspot.com/2006/11/business-model-template-designing-your.html
2. and the "manual": http://business-model-design.blogspot.com/2007/12/draft-business-model-innovation-manual.html
3. extended in 2008: http://business-model-design.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-is-business-model.html
4. on visualisation: http://business-model-design.blogspot.com/2008/09/drawing-your-business-model-cooperation.html
5. an example: Google Book Search (talking of web 2.0): http://business-model-design.blogspot.com/2008/11/google-book-search-first-issue-of-my.html

For practitioners, the "business model hub" could be interesting as well: http://www.businessmodelhub.com
