Tantek on the joy of mashups
Tantek Çelik and Leah Culver competed in the Yahoo Hack Day competition a couple weeks back, and won a 30GB iPod for their trouble. Their 2nd place-taking hack combined the Yahoo Mail APIs with Flickr and a Greasemonkey script, which would send a Flickr photo to a friend as an ecard. Pretty cool stuff, actually.
You can play around with the hack using the instructions on Tantek’s website, if you feel so inclined. Meanwhile, help Leah buy a new laptop by purchasing laser-etched advertising rights on its case at the price of $50/square inch. I might actually do this with iRooster…
