With Mix06 currently underway I thought this would be a good time to blog one of my favorite quotes surrounding web mashups. This comes right from the Wikipedia definition:
It is postulated that mashups are the beginning of the end for traditional operating systems. While operating systems currently serve as a collection of APIs for organizing and storing files and applications, it is quite possible that in a few years all APIs will exist entirely online, and that operating systems will be replaced by browsers.
It's a very good era to be a web developer! We're kinda like the master chefs at a huge buffet, satisfying an endless line of happy surfers hungry for what the web can really deliver.
