This past week 16 new mashups were added to our mashup directory and 22 different APIs were used to build them. And the mashups we’re seeing continue to follow the larger trends, with location and mobile being hot (thus use of APIs like the Foursquare API and the Gowalla API). Some of the newer or less frequently seen APIs include Google Gears, Meetup and Spotify Metadata. The most often used APIs this week are Box.net, Google App Engine and Google Maps. And the most commonly used types of APIs were Social (5 APIs, 5 mashups) and Mapping (5 APIs, 11 mashups). The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
