The GOOD NEWS and BAD NEWS of Mashup Development

First the BAD NEWS:

The Google Mashup Editor beta at www.googlemashups.com is now closed, and the GME itself will be discontinued in favor of the Google App Engine in just a few months time.

Dapper has now been relaunched as an advertising platform rather than a mashup development environment.

Now the GOOD NEWS:

Our PDF e-book Creating Google Mashups with the Google Mashup Editor is now completely free at www.lotontech.com/computing.

You can still use Dapper as a mashup creator at open.dapper.net, and our PDF e-book Mashups Made Easy with Dapper is now completey free at www.lotontech.com/computing.

Yahoo! Pipes is alive and kicking, and in my experience has been -- and continues to be -- by far the most popular mashup development environment.

Happy Mashing!
