Shadows, the new twist on social bookmarking, offers an API to their service. What’s Shadows? From their site:
Shadows is a social bookmarking service for discovering, sharing and managing information on the web. Shadows supercharges this information with a “Shadow Page” — a community blog for any web page that includes views, ratings, tags, and comments [...]

Continuing the review of interesting mashups built on Yahoo! Maps, here’s more via their developer’s site.
San Diego Trolleys: First and foremost is this brand new mashup from Jeffrey McManus (director of Yahoo!’s Developer Network). Also check-out his handy Yahoo! MapMaker for Excel that gives you an easy template for creating Maps without coding.
Speaking of [...]
Frappr (Friend Mapper) lets you see the zip code where your friends live or work, letting you find out who works in the office building next door and who lives in the apartment complex across the street.
Use Seattle911, a Google Maps + seattle.gov mashup by John Eberly, to see what’s going wrong where in Seattle right now. As John says:

Chris Law, creator of the wsfinder wiki and blog, has just started a very interesting new blog, 1000 Flowers Bloom, subtitled ‘Silicon Valley is fertile ground’.

Popup Search Blog: Flickr + Yahoo + RSS combined in an ‘interactive blog’ [...]
The gothamist just noted a few NYC-centric mashups (in turn via Google Maps Mania):
NYC Marathon Map: shows this year’s course. From Brian Timoney.
Slice NY Pizza Map: links you to pizzeria reviews at “America’s Favorite Pizza Weblog”. With fun slice-shaped map markers.
Williamsburger Community Guide: Can help you find where the hippest hangouts are.
Sometimes you run across mashups when not really expecting them. This just happened to me: I heard a radio interview with Jason Goldberg, the CEO of the intriguing new social-networking-ish job search site Jobster, and see that if you enter a zip code when you search it plots the company locations onto a Google Map.
For those of you up here in the Seattle area remember that the Seattle Mind Camp is just around the corner on Nov 5-6th. What is it? Not entirely sure, but the central question posed by the organizers is: “What happens when you put 150 of Seattle’s smartest geeks in an empty office building for [...]
