Flickr has an open application programming interface, which means users can create their own third-party applications that use Flickr images in new and creative ways. Some featured members have written applications that use images to make jiqsaw puzzles, slideshows and digital 3D photocubes, as well as more practical search and mapping tools.
Mashups combine data from multiple sources to create a single web tool that enhances both original sources. An example is the use of Google maps within real estate and business websites. All very interesting, and I never really thought about the effort required to create all these little applications before.
