washingtonpost.com launches 'mashup' site
washingtonpost.com has followed the BBC (see "Build what you want with BBC content ")and launched a Post Remix site, also called mashingtonpost.com.
The site intends to spotlight the work of outside Web developers who've made cool and interesting projects ("mashups") using Post content; and to provide information about washingtonpost.com's various data offerings (APIs and RSS feeds).
Adrian Holovaty, the site's senior editor for editorial innovations, says washingtonpost.com is doing this "because we want to foster innovation, and because we want to see your ideas about new ways of displaying news and information on the Web."
Here are a few examples of what people have made with washingtonpost.com content:
- Frank Wiles made News Cloud, which is a tag cloud of Post stories that lets you browse stories by keyword.
- Jacob Kaplan-Moss made Ripped from the Headlines!, a daily news quiz that's created automatically from our headline feeds.
- Adam DuVander made a world map interface to Post stories, plus a thumbnail quiz of Arts & Entertainment stories.
- Bryan Fordham made washingtonpost.com search results via RSS, which provides RSS feeds for search terms on our site.
