Here’s a mix of new, interesting mashups that use a wide variety of the 395 APIs listed here, none of which are maps.

• The Ad Generator: A generative artwork that explores how advertising uses and manipulates language. Real corporate slogans are remixed and randomized to generate invented slogans, then paired with Flickr images, generating fake advertisements on the fly.



• MusicTonic: Slick music information mashup with photos, videos and news. Search or browse artists by name or genre.



• Wii Enterprise Remote: Demo of a setup using the Nintendo Wii remote to simulate a PC mouse, then integrate with an existing Ruby on Rails application connecting to an SAP BW resource planner. This might allow a manager to view and plan upcoming projects from the Wii. Unique to see a mashup tagged both “enterprise” and “hardware”.
