The appropriately named News Map focuses on international news, letting you click a country to see recent news stories from that country, taken from Yahoo News. The integration with Wikipedia is a nice touch. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2006/05/another_news_map_international.html?nav=rss_blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2006/05/another_news_map_international.html Mashups Tue, 23 May 2006 13:50:17 -0500 Fernando Serboncini has created Google News Cloud, which "fetches news from Google News, tries to find tags related to each news and presents a tag cloud of the daily news." This is somewhat similar to NewsCloud, which does the same for Washington Post stories. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2006/05/google_news_cloud_automatic_ta.html?nav=rss_blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2006/05/google_news_cloud_automatic_ta.html Mashups Tue, 09 May 2006 14:27:55 -0500 http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2006/02/mashup_camp.html?nav=rss_blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2006/02/mashup_camp.html Mashup community Wed, 22 Feb 2006 17:37:43 -0500 http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2006/02/whats_up_global_news_map.html?nav=rss_blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2006/02/whats_up_global_news_map.html Mashups Wed, 15 Feb 2006 10:28:33 -0500 The other day, Google announced an API for its homepage widgets. This lets you create and distribute mini applications that sit on Google's homepage. washingtonpost.com has all sorts of content that's ripe for inclusion in a Google homepage widget (or two). A news feed, perhaps? Congressional vote data, perhaps? Got any ideas? Made any mashups? Let us know. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/12/idea_make_a_post_widget_for_th.html?nav=rss_blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/12/idea_make_a_post_widget_for_th.html Post data Thu, 15 Dec 2005 16:17:46 -0500 We've launched the U.S. Congress Votes Database, which lets you browse every vote in the U.S. Congress since 1991. One of the site's features is an RSS feed for every active member of Congress, updated each time he or she votes. There's also a feed of the latest votes. See the RSS page for full information about the feeds. Of course, this data is open to remixing, so, if you're a developer/tinkerer, feel free to download feeds and come up with something interesting. In fact, a couple of people have already done so: Garrick Van Buren put together MNRep - How Minnesota's Congressional Representatives Voted. A fellow named Jacob in Illinois put together a small aggregation of how his representatives are voting. Please let us know if you create a mashup, so we can spotlight it here. Also get in touch if you think of any other related RSS feeds http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/12/new_for_mashing_congress_rss_f.html?nav=rss_blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/12/new_for_mashing_congress_rss_f.html Post data Wed, 07 Dec 2005 17:47:06 -0500 http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/12/post_stories_amazoncom_books.html?nav=rss_blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/12/post_stories_amazoncom_books.html Mashups Thu, 01 Dec 2005 21:09:06 -0500 We've had a lot of great feedback and blog coverage since our launch last week, despite the holiday weekend here in the U.S. Check out the coverage: Via Technorati Via IceRocket Keep the feedback coming! It was especially nice to get a welcome to the party from the BBC, which has been encouraging mashups for a while now through its BBC Backstage program. Thanks, BBC; it's good to be here. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/11/thanks_for_positive_feedback.html?nav=rss_blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/11/thanks_for_positive_feedback.html Meta Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:01:13 -0500 http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/11/rebotcast_washingtonpostcom_vi.html?nav=rss_blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/11/rebotcast_washingtonpostcom_vi.html Mashups Sun, 27 Nov 2005 23:32:57 -0500 Frank Wiles' News Cloud is a tag cloud interface to washingtonpost.com news stories. It automatically pulls keywords out of stories and presents a way of navigating the news by keyword. Frank made it for fun, as an experiment. Here's how it works, direct from the about page: NewsCloud is an application that takes all of the RSS feeds from the Washington Post website and builds a blog like tag cloud from the keywords. Each story's full text is pulled from the website and indexed by [these] keywords. There are typically around 11,000 news stories and 60,000 keywords being indexed at any given time. Not only is it an interesting way of browsing news; it also comes in handy for finding other stories on a similar topic. Nice work, Frank! http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/11/newscloud.html?nav=rss_blog http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postremix/2005/11/newscloud.html Mashups Sun, 27 Nov 2005 23:22:53 -0500 We are pleased to announce washingtonpost.com's Post Remix.
