The word of the day is Mashups:
A mashup, for the unfamiliar, is a hybrid web application that uses data from an outside source to drive a web service. Mashups can be created using data culled from RSS feeds, public databases, or any open data source.
My favorite mashups use Google Maps in some way, but I am seeing many more combinations now. This list of very interesting mashups using Flickr is from Webmonkey.
My favorites in the list include navigation, games (guessing or Sudoku), and even search by drawing, and a utilities for color picking.
