What is a Mashup?

Sunday, November 9th, 2008 No Comments »

A web mashup is a web application that takes information from one or more sources and presents it in a new way or with a unique layout.Confused?It is actually not quite so difficult to understand as the technical definition might make you believe. The key driving power of the Internet is information, and a mashup is an application that takes that information and shows it to you in a unique way.For example, the Nintendo Wii has been difficult to find in stores. A web mashup might help by taking the data from various stores like EB Games and other websites like Ebay and combine this information with Google maps to present you with an easy-to-use interface for finding a Wii in your area. To see this in action, you can visit FindNearBy.

How is a Web Mashup Built?

The web is continually growing more open and more social. Because of this, many websites have opened up programming interfaces (API’s) that allow developers to get at their core information.A prime example of this is Google Maps, which is a very popular interface to use in mashups. Google allows developers to access their maps through API’s. The developer can then combine these maps with another stream of data to create something new and unique.

Must a Web Mashup Have Contain Data From Multiple Sources?

TwitterSpyThe name “mashup” is derived from the idea of combining data from two or more sources and displaying it with a unique look. However, newer mashups sometimes only use a single source of information. A good example of this is TwitterSpy, which only pulls data from Twitter.

Mashupsfeed - Web 2.0 Mashups and APIs Directory

Through the inclusion of mashups a mere Web 2.0 application can become more robust, user friendly and beneficial to a business. Mashupsfeed.com is home to wide selections of valuable featured Web 2.0 Mashups and Application Programming Interface (API) that are essential to enhancing web base applications. The site has a collection of applications that are of great importance to a site’s day to day existence.

From today’s politics, shopping, site navigation, graph and map there are several featured mashups available in the site. A user may take a tour on the site and discover how essential and portable these API’s and mashups that are featured on the site. While I was taking my tour to the site, I was fascinated with hundreds of applications that I did not thought could exist.

The LastGraph, a featured mashup created through the last.fm API, is an attraction among other hundreds of applications featured on MashupsFeed. LastGraph was designed to determine a user’s music history and represents it through a graph. There are other applications on the site that will surely be of relevant use for other applications.

Two of the most used API’s from featured API’s and Web 2.0 Mashups are the Amazon eCommerce and OpenSecret. These two applications are providing enough resources for websites to come in user friendly interfaces and a more diverse Web 2.0 application.

Visitors are also encouraged to post or suggest mashups to be featured on the website. Requirements for such action only include the user’s real name, a valid email address, website title, the URL, and the description of the site. Having all these requirements will directly include a mashup for admin review and has a chance of being featured to the Mashupsfeed directory.

In addition to suggesting a mashup, featured applications are also open to comments from visitors who qualify with the site’s Terms of Service (TOS). Primary requirement before posting is the age of the visitor. A poster should be at least 13 years old and should be able to manually compose or perform the posting. To verify it there is a randomly generated code that needed to be written before a comment can be posted.
