A curated application store is a virtual storefront that includes applications provisioned from one or more application databases. For example, a curator may browse through an application database to find notable applications based on his or her expertise in a certain area and then provision the notable applications from the application database for inclusion in an application store curated by the curator. Accordingly, users browsing for applications pertaining to the area of expertise of the curator may shop for the applications from within a virtual application mall which includes a collection of curated application stores such as the application store curated by the curator. In return, the curator of the store may receive a revenue share from the purchases made within his or her application store.
