Mashup of News and Blogs
Friday, January 4th, 2008For the new year I took a few hours and put together a test Mashup of a few public APIs.
The application simply lets you see the latest news and what the blogosphere has to say about it. Again this was done in a short amount of time and is still very rough - and there are a hundred ways this could be improved.
I will be posting information on some interesting techniques used when I get a chance.
The interesting thing about this application is that it makes no use of any specific sever side code. Everything is done on the client side with browser standard technology.
Let me know what you think - http://www.killersite.com/mashuptest1.html
How to use
- Select a category and get the latest news items
- Double-click on a news item to view it
- Click on the expand icon next to an item to see any blog posts relating to it
- Do the same things on the “Search News” tab
