Webmashup.com: Mashup News and APIs

A mashup is a combination of two or more web services. Popular examples include housingmaps.com, a service that pulls available housing for rent or purchase from Craig's List and displays it on a Google Map, or our very own Jott to Google Calendar which lets you add events to your calendar by speaking into your cellphone.

This morning I found a new "digg-style" site geared toward developing mashups called webmashup.com. Mashups are one of my favorite toys to develop because they allow you to really pull the power of the web together and take advantage of neat technologies. The site is broken into 3 main categories:

• Web 2.0 News
  
• Mashup Examples
  
• Mashup APIs
  

The APIs are further broken down by type. As of right now there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of content on the site, but I'm sure that's mostly because it hasn't been around for very long. We did our part by adding our own Jott2GCal as a Mashup Example. Be sure and vote for it here! This will be an interesting site to keep an eye on. Hopefully it sticks around and doesn't go the way of the many other digg copycats of yesteryear.
