Here’s four interesting new creations built on the Flickr API:
Spell with Flickr: Type a word or phrase into this fun Flickr application and it will return a set of images spelling-out that word, ransom-note style. [Created by Erik Kastner].
Tagnautica: An experimental navigation tool for exploring the space of related Flickr tags. Type in one [...]
A very nice interview on NPR yesterday with Mike Pegg, creator of the Google Maps Mania blog. You can listen to the audio on “All Things Considered” with Robert Siegel here on the NPR site.
A couple of notable Google Maps mashups were highlighted:
Dig to the Other Side: Great mashup that asks the question: If I [...]
Who needs a blog that talks about mashups when you can get mashups directly? Fair enough. After a bit of testing, ProgrammableWeb’s ‘mashup-only’ site is live:
http://www.mashupfeed.com
What is it? As the name implies it’s a site, a very small one-page site for now, that is only about mashups: recent mashups, popular mashups, mashup tag clouds, and [...]
Earlier this week Saleforce.com blog (sforce) gave us this very interesting statistic about their web services APIs:
And from our modest beginnings with Sforce 1.0, we’ve seen the Sforce Web service API grow to account for over 40% of all of salesforce.com’s total traffic. Think about that for a minute – the API is almost [...]
Mashup Camp is officially on. Anyone interested in mashups, APIs and the web as platform should go visit MashupCamp.com to sign-up for what promises to be a great event next month. David Berlind is putting together this “un-conference about the un-computer” along with co-organizer Doug Gold. As David announced a couple of weeks ago: [...]
ProgrammableWeb crossed a milestone this weekend when the 300th example was added to the mashup database. The pace of people creating these is accelerating and I’ve seen an increase in the per-day volume of contributions of links here.
Of course there are hundreds or thousands more out there already, especially if you include the fact that [...]
Nicholas Carr points out this link: Data Mining 101: Finding Subversives with Amazon Wishlists, a very good but disconcerting example of what can be stitched (mashed) together about you. Tom Owad used data from a random sampling of Amazon wishlists to create a profile of a person’s interests, such as reading subversive books, that some [...]
Over the holiday break I had a chance to make some overdue updates to this site, one of which was updating the home page. Not a major site change but better reflects the new features added over the past few months: /popular mashups, how-to guide, technical reference and tag cloud.
Probably of more impact to visitors [...]
The blogosphere was ripe with new mashups yesterday and about a dozen contributors have added links here within the past week. Here are some of note:
Pumps.ie: Find the best petrol prices in Ireland via this interactive Google Map. [via]
Power Map: Google Maps for geeks. Provides a web based interface to much of the underlying [...]
As noted on TechCrunch yesterday, retrievr is a slick photo search application built on top of Flickr’s APIs. You use a nice Flash-based paint box area to ‘describe by drawing’ what you want and it comes back with surprisingly comparable Flickr images. Example to right shows my poorly drawn yellow circle and the very [...]
