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.

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. The mashups that will come out in 2009 are going to be ones that create hybrid spaces in between the different tools we are already using. What was your favorite innovation from 2008?

We have done our best to clearly map out the fees and strengths of each platform to help nonprofits find the best fit. The one catch: If you choose to integrate Give Lively with any of your other tools, such as Salesforce, PayPal, or Stripe, these companies may charge their own fees in connection with your use of GiveLively.

Michael also has a really interesting map of the nonprofit technology space. But there are a few tidbits that I’ve enjoyed: There is a great Flickr stream building up of photos tagged with “07NTC &# including one of me.

Ushahidi got its start in early 2008. Founder Erik Hersman and a group of fellow Kenyan bloggers were frustrated by the lack of accurate information or media coverage of the violence surrounding the 2008 Kenyan election. Ushahidi entered our legendary third NetSquared Mashup Challenge in Santa Clara, California in May 2008.

There were two different kinds of APIs discussed – the ones that help organizations with interoperability within their organizational systems – getting data from one app to another, and using APIs for things like Google maps mashups. It seemed that only Blackbaud had APIs you have to pay for. Be Helpful.

The first reason is the excessive focus on specific social media tools. Many first-timers are introduced to social media via specific tools. Many ’social media experts’ who are practitioners rather than thinkers also focus on specific tools. My own approach to social media is both tool-agnostic and terminology-agnostic.
