I stumbled along a nice website today using my Bloglines. The site is ProgrammableWeb, which is dedicated to keeping us up to date on the latest “mashups” from the Web 2.0 universe.

. What a “mashup” is, is a web application derived by using the “APIs” of several web services. Simply, a new website is made, that pulls data from other websites and presents it in a unique and interesting fashion.

Mashups are popular for a ton of good reasons. Mashups are a great way to unleash the originality in people, and ProgrammableWeb offers some contests in order to appeal to people’s competive natures. The best website are featured, and that gives them additional exposure in the Web 2.0 space.

ProgrammableWeb is a definitely repository for APIs and Mashups, so I suggest you take a look at it. Some of the listed websites are just spectactular for their ingenuity, and they give you an idea of what you can do, if you’re so inclined.
