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.

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

(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.
