When you click on a place-mark on Gharbia's Google Maps mashup, a pop-up reveals details, stories and videos of prisoners and their families. What visual representations of geographic data can help tell your organization's or cause's story? What are some ways that this could be used to enhance a nonprofit's program delivery?

There were people already doing cool stuff, like InSTEDD and some great work around mashups of humanitarian data in Afghanistan, as well as folks discussing lauching cool new social enterprises (but we can't talk about them yet).

You can also use Social Actions’ Twitter mashups to pull and push actionable opportunities to your network. So how do you cut through the noise, how do you sift through the random updates, how do you connect and engage? Don’t create a strategy or even expect to use Twitter for the actions. It’s not going to work.

One of the best examples of the use of APIs are Google Map mashups. Like the freedom that RSS gives to end users in terms of getting the data that you want in your hands, to read when and how you want it, APIs give programmers (and, at times, end users) the freedom to get data from Web 2.0
