Recently, we launched a Google Maps ‘mashup’. It displays the classmates of the logged in user on a map with a photo and link to their NetCommunity profile. Steve MacLaughlin covered it in his blog so I’ll spare you the details, he’s better at talking about what we do than I am anyway. This brings up a good topic for my blog though, the power of mashups. So what is a mashup? Usually people think of some custom map when they think of a mashup but basically a mashup is the integration of one or more ‘services’ from various vendor’s via some type of API to deliver a creative and unique product to your end user.
