From the early days of architecting the Infinity platform we have focused on embracing Web 2.0 technologies and standards. EVERY Infinity API is a web service and RSS support is plumbed into even the lowest levels of the platform. With all this Web 2.0 centricity comes the big payoff: mashups. In this short 20 minute screen cast, I'll walk through building multiple mashups, starting in Blackbaud Enterprise CRM and journeying into Microsoft PopFly and Yahoo! Pipes. I guess the Internet really is just a series of tubes! Using these powerful, and highly visual, mashup tools, we'll build some interesting little apps. We'll even do something in Facebook, since no Web 2.0 demo in 2007 is complete without featuring Facebook. Bonus points if you can count how many times I used the word "adorn"...(one of my favorites!)
