mmmm…. mashups

by irenet - March 19, 2009

This week we’re inaugurating a page with a use of 11870.com that we are very proud of: mashups. At 11870.com we’re committed to sharing content, a purpose that materializes in actions such as our agreement with Google Maps or our support of any developer who’s interested in using our API.

The growing number of projects using the API to create mashups (web applications that combine 11870.com with other data) has prompted us to create a special page for them on the site. The latest two, aquicerca.mobi and comil.us are iPhone apps, by the way.

Comil.us, created by Miquel Camps a.k.a gafeman, allows you to drag a place marker over a map to see what services (restaurants, hotels, bars, clothes shops…) are within a certain distance (300 m, 600m, 1 km) of this spot. A lighter version is available too! From it you can phone the business via Skype or even send a Twitter message with where you’re headed to. Another interesting thing about this mashup is that it’s been translated into quite a few languages.

Here’s a screenshot of what comil.us looks like from a computer.

The red place marker is the position you choose and the blue are restaurants in the area. Clicking on the blue place marks you’ll find details for the business in question.
