web 2.0 mashups ... hype or tool

Tags:

In the corporate world I get lots of email from ZDNet ... sometimes I read it ... I really like Web 2.0 stuff. I wish I could have taken advantage of the first internet bubble ... but I missed it ...

Assembling great software: A round-up of eight mashup tools is one of the blog posts I enjoyed

programmableweb has 267 web api's that can be "mashed up" ... lots to look at.

Read/Write Web has a great title Widgets are the new black ... widgets are small "widgets" you can add to your site by just embedded some code in a web page ...

Yahoo is a leader in the widget space Latest Applications (191) to see what they offer (Yahoo is also a big PHP company)

widgetbox wiidgetizing the web also has a bunch (their site is orange and blue)

Good Storm capitalism done right is also a pretty cool site -- they use drupal -- and do custom stores

Zacker.org has a very cool "Screencast: Drupal Mashup Machine" -- very cool he uses Google Maps and crime data -- it was easy enough for me to get working.
