I am learning about Mashups today. The term itself is a little weird but mashups are basically when you take two things on the web and mash them together. So, take Google maps and mash it up with a list of wealthy people and you have a map of where rich people live. Got it? Pretty neat idea. I went to a mashups directory and found some pretty interesting mashups. My favorite was a map of secret fishing holes. Now I do wonder if they are really secret when you map them on the web for all the world to see. Oh well. Not all mashups use maps. Another one I like lets you view items on clearance at Target. YIPPEE! Next I will be trying to make my own mashup. Wish me luck. To all of you out there who really just want to read about the craziness of my life and my kids, I promise, this Learning 2.0 stuff is almost over. One more post after this one. I promise.
