One of the best examples of the use of APIs are Google Map mashups. These are using data in your own databases, and grabbing maps from google maps and putting them inside your application. It allows nonprofits free access to data that they would normally not have access to (like mapping data), or would have to pay a lot for.

I hadn’t blogged about it. We have seen plenty of mashups where a website is able to push together a mapping tool, some public data, and user-created content like comments. What was your favorite innovation from 2008? I hadn’t thought about it much. So, here are my 2009 Predictions for the Social Web. I love them!

I’m not going to go through everything they said at all – I think a recording will be available on the NTEN blog or site at some point soon, I expect. There was also a backchannel chat room, which was really useful and interesting. (I I hope NTEN can post the transcript.) It seemed that only Blackbaud had APIs you have to pay for.

I’ve been a fan of Dan Roam’s work since his book “ The Back of the Napkin ” in 2008. Map the data. This year I’ve been focusing on data visualization and techniques for nonprofits – and working on my visual thinking skills without letting my basic drawing skills become a barrier.
