With roughly one-third of our entire mashup directory composed of mapping mashups, we’ve come to expect a lot if a site plans to use a map. That said, we’re still big fans of maps and are always excited to see something new. Each of the mashups below brought something new, whether it’s interaction, data, visualization–or all three.
This past week 20 new mashups were added to our mashup directory and 30 different APIs were used to build them. Some of the newer or less frequently seen APIs include Eventbrite and our own ProgrammableWeb API. The most often used APIs this week are Google Maps, Twitter and YouTube. And the most commonly used types of APIs were Search (4 APIs, 4 mashups), Social (4 APIs, 10 mashups) and Shopping (4 APIs, 7 mashups). The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
Have you noticed the many tools to share your location? There’s FourSquare and Gowalla, both about a year old. Then there are old-timers like Brightkite. And now, there’s one that works with all three (and a couple more).
As we have noted, FourSquare has become an extremely popular way to share where you are. However, unlike yesterday’s hot location-sharing app, BrightKite, FourSquare does not have the ability to share photos. Is this an oversight, or is it an opportunity to fill a void?
Programmable Web now tracks over 4,600 mashups. Every day one new app is chosen as mashup of the day. And then, sometimes we like to point out a few that especially catch our attention.
