Blue Flavor has just released a somewhat clever iPhone portal app called Leaflets that allows iPhone users a one-stop-shop to various API houses, such as Flickr, NYT, Le Tour, Upcoming, Newsvine and the like.
This sort of app is exactly what I’m sure Jobs was envisioning when he said that the SDK would be Safari. The web is right now in a space where apps like Yahoo! Pipes and other API mashups are becoming defacto standards for generating web based content.
The world of mashups are nothing really new and it would be interesting to see how well and successful aggregation tools like this perform. How can one even measure success with a site like this? In the end, you just have to look to google as the premiere portal. A portal’s success depends on its transparency and ease of direction. Portals need to just get out of the way and let me get to where I want to go, fast.
For now, worth a bookmark and a spin around the block.
