Mashups are great. But I think 2009 will see a more refined world of mashups take over. We have seen plenty of mashups where a website is able to push together a mapping tool, some public data, and user-created content like comments.

The Flickr Mashup is pretty cool too. I have to point you over to Steve Bridger's post about the Full Stop Campaign. What level of technical skills does it take to do something like that? How did they measure their success?

I remember leaving for Vegas and making a promise to Joe that I would submit a mashup to the 2009 Change the Web Challenge.

One of the best examples of the use of APIs are Google Map mashups. These are using data in your own databases, and grabbing maps from google maps and putting them inside your application. I have dreams of applications that combine, say, available bed space in shelters and soup kitchens, all mapped for people to find.

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."
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
