Kebberfegg is a tool to help you generate large sets of keyword-based RSS feeds at one time. Keyword-based RSS feeds (some people call them "search based feeds") are those RSS feeds generated as a result of doing a search -- for example, both Yahoo News and Google News have keyword-based RSS feeds.
An experimental matrix of Web 2.0 mashups. Usage: Hover the cursor over any cell in the matrix. A small box gives details on mashups for that API combination.
Top links in hover box bring you to that API's reference page.
Links in body of hover box take you directly to the mashup.
Not all combinations have mashups & only those with the 'º' indicator currently have entries.
Cells at the intersection of same API (ex: Amazon+Amazon) list any other examples for that API.
Note that there are two views into the matrix: the default view shows only those APIs for which mashups have been added to the
database. The second view shows all APIs regardless of whether there's currently a mashup registered. It's big.
Definitions: What is a mashup anyway? As always, it's good to check
Wikipedia's definition,
but essentially a "mashup" is a web-based
application built through (creative) combination of data from multiple sources. Often, but by no means always,
this data is retrieved by using a vendor's API such as those listed here.
(An API? Also at Wikipedia.)
Some recent press may also help explain:
BusinessWeek's "Mix, Match and Mutate",
The Economist's "Mashing the Web".
Background: This is an experiment. It is intended to be both a reference point and also a visualization.
What you see here today will change both in content and form shortly.
I am quite interested in seeing the 'space' in which mashups exist.
Clearly, some APIs such as Google Maps, appear to be more widely used than others.
UI Issues:
Cross-browser support is good but not complete.
Sometimes it can b

Springo is a shortcutting tool that empowers users to rapidly and easily navigate to the best websites for each specific purpose.
* Springo singles out the most widely consulted websites-those sites that provide the information that most users need.
* Springo organizes the Internet according to categories and allows users to quickly navigate between categories, or focus or expand a search along the category tree.
* Springo directs users to specialized and expert sites, knowledge centers, and vertical sites that are most relevant to their search, since in many areas, no one site is likely to provide all the information that a user needs.
* Most Internet users can quickly and almost intuitively identify the websites that are most likely to provide the information that they need. The clear, user-friendly Springo visual interface enables users to assess a number of sites at a glance, without going through a time-consuming and irritating click-load-and-return process for each site.
* Springo ranks websites based on their actual popularity among users. Since user behavior is our only consideration, commercial factors and website optimization techniques do not impact our site rankings
