Thing #6

I enjoyed learning about mashups, although I have to admit that I had never heard of the term. I always thought "monstermash" was just a  song about a dance.  I really felt lost with all the new jargon I learned like "crud."  All this time I thought special education had the most jargon.

I can see how businesss mashups would be a great way to aggregate and display data.  I'mnot so sure about the data mashup, but I can see the immediate uses for the consumer mashup.  

Mappr looks like a fun application of the Flickr technology. I have always enjoyed maps and trying figure where I am.  Too bad Mappr no longer takes images using Flickr,  I have always enjoyed guessing where a picture was taken by its characteristics.
