Mashup Mixup

I went back and reread the directions for week 2 and now see that I did in fact misread the directions. I have now gone and looked up mashups and tried spelling my name with "spell with flickr."

The flickr color picker was really cool, just to see the variety of color and images. Not necessarily a practical application, but fun!

Obviously mashups have some practical applications i.e. google maps, but I'd have to think on it a bit to figure out how we could use this technology here. I did read Erik's blog post on mashups and I like the idea of using it to create VHS scavenger hunts.

Also, mashups may not necessarily be for us, (although Erik does bring up good suggestions). The point I wanted to make is that people are using mashups to find images. If we posted images, we might reach out to a few people who wouldn't have found us otherwise. Thanks for being such a rock star! Rock on.
