The video made Mashups easy to understand because I hadn't heard much about them or seen them used. I like the concept of bringing applications together and I did find some of them a great way to make a web page more appealing - some people must have a huge amount of spare time to do all this stuff! The New York Public library mashup was a great concept because it compared then and now and the changes over the years. That would be a great project for our region as we would have some great snaps around.
Suburbview was a well set up site and so easy to use - great if you were moving to a new area and wanted to do a report on the area for buying or renting a property and to see how the market was going.
Went to the mashup up awards but I didn't love it - sooo many of them refered to Twitter.
Then went to google and tried to find some Mashups with Australian content - found the ABC had a great selection of political video satire and oh what fun!!! A few I enjoyed were
The Australia Day Hypocrite - Creator: Yakovich
Women in Politics - Creator: Staa
Books Books Books - Melbourne Writers Festival - Creator: Cyrius01
Well worth a look at.
Cheers for now
