We're hosting a contest called the NetSquared Mashup Challenge that I wanted to let you know about, and am hoping that you'll pass on to social changemakers and web innovators in your community. Wikipedia defines a mashup as, "a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool."

Along with 3 colleagues, we volunteered to develop an entry for the Apps for America 2 contest , sponsored by the Sunlight Foundation.

By now, most of you have probably heard that our DataMasher application won Apps for America 2 via our press release or our celebratory tweets. The competing applications were impressive and the voting was close. Then you can share them with your friends and comment on the mashups of others. Apparently, we won by only 12 votes!

Not too long ago, I submitted my chapter to BJ Fogg's Psychology of Facebook Applications. The chapter is an analysis of Facebook applications that help raise money or awareness or encourage people to take a social action. The winning application will receive $10,000.
