Last week I finally relaunched mashup.se. I have had that domain for a couple of years now and started my blogging there in 2006. But I was never happy with the content and the direction it took, in the end it became nothing more than general tech news and I lost interest. Now, at the relaunch, it is much more focused. The idea is to write about mashups and APIs from a swedish angle (yes, the site is all in Swedish, but thanks to Google Translate that is no problem, click here for the English version). There are so many mashups and APIs, but most of them are from the US and have very US specific content. An API that only produces content about the US in English is of very little help to a developer writing apps for the Swedish market.
Hopefully I can create a good collection of swedish mashups and APIs and at the same time get to know more what is going on in Sweden. Since I am not only going to write about specifically Swedish stuff, but also US APIs that are of interest to Swedes, I think that it will also help me write more posts for digitalistic.com. After all a mashup built with Yahoo’s BOSS mashup framwork is of interests to geeks everywhere (at least if you are the kind of geek I am).

Nice design at mashup.se, I must say.
Yahoo! BOSS gives really great opportunities to create kick-ass mashup web apps! Do you plan to do any projects based on BOSS?

Right now I am just playing around with BOSS and the BOSS Mashup Framework. Since it is written in Python it can run on Google App Engine, which is nice. Considering using BOSS instead of Google Custom Search for a project I am in the middle of right now, but I am not sure yet.
