I don??™t actually expect any existing mashup to bring them altogether??”partly because
mashups generally aren??™t that all-encompassing yet and partly because the mix of elements
I want mashed up is rather idiosyncratic. But let??™s look at what mashups are out there, what
they bring together, and whether we can mash up the mashups themselves.
Let??™s use ProgrammableWeb to help us to find possible solutions. One approach is to do
a full-text search for book among the mashup profiles, sorting the results by popularity:
http://www.programmableweb.com/mashups/directory/1?q=book&sort=popular
Another approach is to use the tags. You can look through the tag cloud here to get a sense
of popular book-related tags:
http://www.programmableweb.com/search
You??™ll see a link listed to the tag books. I recommend sorting by popularity first:
http://www.programmableweb.com/tag/books/1?sort=popular
and then by date to see the latest developments among mashups tagged with books:
http://www.programmableweb.com/tag/books/1?sort=date
I recommend looking through the results and reading the descriptions of each mashup.
Try some. You??™ll get a feel for the range of possibilities among book-related mashups.
Here, I??™ll highlight ones that stand out in my viewing. One question to ask while looking
through the mashup profiles is, what are the important APIs involved in these mashups? It
would be nice to have ProgrammableWeb return the list of APIs involved in a given set of
mashups sorted by the number of times it is used.
