This week we had more APIs added to our API directory than any week ever. Seven of these new APIs include an online dictionary API, an API for text and excel conversion tool, an MD5 online file hash API, an aviation and geo data API, a risk modeling API, and a hotel shopping API and a rental car shopping API. Below is more detail on each of these new APIs.
This past week 21 new mashups were added to our mashup directory and 35 different APIs were used to build them.

The most often used APIs this week are Flickr, Google Maps and Twitter. And the most commonly used types of APIs were Mapping (6 APIs, 11 mashups), Social (4 APIs, 11 mashups) and Internet (3 APIs, 3 mashups).

The popular realtime web search provider OneRiot has announced the availability of their ad network RiotWize, which gives developers the opportunity to monetize desktop, mobile and web realtime web space applications by displaying ads relating to currently trending topics.
Here’s the secret to success, the one thing you need to make sure you do the things that are important to you: add them to a task list. And the best way to make sure that list is always easily accessible? Why, write a program to incorporate it into your life. These five APIs will give you the tools to track your to-dos with minimal code.
