Twits On Yahoo! Maps - My First Mashup
Today I've created my first bona fide mashup using the Yahoo! Maps API and the Twitter API to map my friends' location. Although I've been playing around with many Web 2.0 APIs, this is the first time I've combined any of them in true mashup fashion.

YouTube Google Data API
I am very active in the vlogging community at YouTube and Stickam. Vlogging is clearly the future of online communication and social networking sites. I have been particularly impressed by how effective vlogging is for forming genuine friendships and online community. I've always been an anti-social IT geek and I never appreciated the value of social networking sites until I found YouTube where you can see and hear the people you are communicating with. Many of the YouTube vloggers are addicted to video conferencing on the Stickam web site. I have witnessed many instances of vloggers collaborating with each other on video projects. It would be interesting if there were a social networking site for developers that used video to forge an effective online community for collaboration. I do have an account on ITtoolbox which is a professional networking site for IT geeks but it lacks any video sharing capabilities and therefore does not create a real sense of community.
