Preface

Design


This mashup application takes input and provides output to many different mashup APIs. We will break down the process of creating this mashup into different steps. The final application is not a single piece of software but a mashup in every sense.

We are going to use Facebook as a marketing tool, tapping its social network for candidates. To do this we will create a Facebook application. This means while the software resides within our server, the interface is through Facebook.

Searching for jobs through Indeed is displayed through the Facebook application but displaying them on Google Maps is more conventionally displayed in our own interface. News and blog entries on the company offering the job are displayed when clicked on within Google Maps, in a separate panel to the side of the map.
