The web is becoming bendable and mashable. Some of the most popular social sites on the web are opening up letting developers consume all sorts of data and information. It’s the very same information that makes those sites wildly successful.
So you may have noticed in that right sidebar there are a few pretty neat things going on. Silverscape's Twitter, Silverscape's Flickr, and Silverscape's Last.FM recently played tracks. We and some of our clients are taking advantage of what those social sites are offering and integrating it right into our own sites.
For me personally, I've really enjoyed digging through developer documentation for these sites and learning how to wrangle all that data and all the limitless things that can be done with it. Listen to this, how about a web app that takes your picture with your webcam, uploads it to flickr, tweets the artist and title of the song you just listened to with a link to the flickr image of your face while you were listening to the song? Sure, why not? This is the kind of openness that we developers have begun to see.
Gone are the days of being limited to simple and static "brochure" sites. We are integrating all kinds of sites and services to connect visitors to the company's culture and voice, dynamically (through some cool code too).
I guess calling it "the Web" is a pretty accurate title with how interconnected everything is becoming?
