Mashup University – Mashery, it’s more than just a logo


Mashery will support developer networks. Six weeks old. They are just getting off the ground but will try to facilitate the use of all those APIs out there. “Creating a series of services to provide to API vendors”.

I’m not sure that logo is going to be understood by the whippersnapper generation who a) don’t cook much and b) don’t use a potato masher when they do. But I like it for the symbolism!

Clay, cofounder of Mashery and former feedster (programmer?), is showing us a mashed up blog demo “core” that can be skinned to other applications. However… “We are not a Wiki Company, we are here to enable …. cool web services”.

Here’s a brief on Mashery’s funding

This is a cool concept I think, but ..dudes… you need a better demo pitch for the main mashup camp!

  1. Hi, Joe – thanks for the review! Funny about the logo; people do tend to “get it”, but there are a group of (generally younger) people who have evidently been getting their mashed potatoes out of a box…

    And as for the demo – stay tuned, there’s much more coming. Our goal at the camp is to start a conversation about developer programs, and I think we succeeded. I’ll be at camp on Wednesday and Thursday; be sure to find me and introduce yourself!

    Cheers –

    Oren Michels
    CEO, Mashery
