In June 2009, John decided to sell nearly everything he owned and set out for New York City (via San Diego). I remember leaving for Vegas and making a promise to Joe that I would submit a mashup to the 2009 Change the Web Challenge. The mashup was a map showing where people were volunteering in near-real-time.

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.
