Salesforce & Google Mashup

What is a Mashup?
A mashup is a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated application.

I came across an interesting article on pg 16 of InformationWeek magazine by J Nicholas Hoover, that discusses a potential mashup application. I thought it was a nice example of a useful mashup.

Example:
Salesforce.com and Google are developing an application which integrates an onlione slot machine game (Harrahs) which is built with Google App Engine, with Harrah’s VIP guest site hosted on Force.com, and using Salesforce,com data. This application would allow the VIPs to use the slot machine game on their iGoogle page. Harrahs could book the awards and track how perople respond to the game.

Google Friend Connect / Twitter

 Google Friend Connect lets you grow traffic by easily adding social features to your website. This means means more people engaging more deeply with your website — and with each other. In the below video, Google Product Marketing Manager Mendel Chuang gives a short introduction to Google Friend Connect.

 Google Adds Twitter

Google included Twitter in their Friend Connect program which means folks can stay connected with their Twitter network on web sites that have activated the service. This particular integration did not require effort on our part so it was a quick win for folks who use Twitter and want to connect on participating web sites.
