Welcome!

For the past 8 months or so, I've been building mashups with the APIs of a number of vendors, including Microsoft, Amazon, Yahoo, YouTube, AOL, StrikeIron, and others.

In the process, I've built some demos, established some best practices, and created content such as labs and demos.  Up until recently, these have been shared only within Microsoft (where I work) at events called 'Mashup Days'.  Mashup days are events where a bunch of people in the company get together, have some drinks, listen to some good music and collaborate and build some mashups.

At the MVP Summit in Redmond last month, we extended this event externally for the first time, and it was pretty well received.  With some involvement in the Web20 Conference in San Francisco next week, and the Mix07 conference at the end of the month, I thought the timing was right to start up a new blog, start sharing some content.

Only the blog is live right now, but as you can see from the menu bar, the site will have sample code, videos, and lots of information on the who, what, where, and how much $$ on APIs. All functionality will be enabled by early next week.

With that, welcome to the site - if there are certain APIs you'd like to get more details on, send me a note at mashupguy@hotmail.com.

Cheers,

Marc
