December starts tomorrow and brings with it the upcoming holiday season. Before we dive headfirst into the final month of the year, let’s take a look back at November and the best mashups that we didn’t catch the first time around. This group of mashups include a social content discovery site, shopping price comparison, business traveler information and a keyword research tool. For more information keep reading below.
This past week 6 new mashups were added to our mashup directory and 20 different APIs were used to build them. Some of the newer or less frequently seen APIs include Adility, DealSurf, eBay Finding, eBay Shopping, Prosperent, RetailMeNot.com Community Ideas, ShopStyle and Yahoo Address Book. The most often used APIs this week are Amazon Product Advertising, Facebook and Yahoo Address Book. And the most commonly used types of APIs were Shopping (6 APIs, 6 mashups), Social (3 APIs, 4 mashups) and Other (2 APIs, 2 mashups). The list below shows which APIs were used by which mashups:
Prosperent (quickly growing ad network) and CloudFlare (content delivery network focused on low touch app launches) have announced a partnership aimed at quickly monetizing websites without complicated development work. The partnership is simple, seems obvious, and should intrigue developers across many markets. Most importantly, the partnership should create new ways for anybody/any company with an online presence to make money. Check out the PW profiles for the Prosperent API and the CloudFlare API.
Prosperent has released “the performance advertising industry’s first and only celebrity product API.” The celebrity product API will allow content creators and developers to include products associated with celebrities into advertising campaigns. According to Propserent’s CEO, Brian Lovett, “hundreds of hours” are currently spent researching celebrity-product affiliations.
