A good starting point is the NetSquared community (www.netsquared.org), which is hosting a Mashup Challenge that is bringing developers, volunteers, and organizations together. Another good starting point is to take a look at some of the best nonprofit and activist mashups on the Web. Some of our current favorites include: • Tunisian Prison Maps (http://kitab.nl/tunisianprisonersmap/), a Web site that combines data from a variety of sources to locate the prisons on a map and links to videos and other information relating to the prisons. • Happy Highways (www.happyhighways.com/index.php/DrivingDirections/Gas_usage.html) lets you calculate the gas price and carbon footprint for your car travels and offers recommendations on how to reduce emissions. • Active Trails (www.activetrails.com) lets users explore a list of hiking and biking trails across the United States by providing very specific, often user-generated, information such as pictures, GPS downloads and maps. If you agree that information is power, I know you’ll find that transforming your information into a stop-’em-in-their-tracks mashup is an ideal way to bring that power to the people.
