What Is a Mash-Up Anyway?

 

Examples Everyone Uses All the Time

 

Aggregation and Portal Pages

I discovered when I started working with people to help them create a mashup of their own, what they were really wanting to do was aggregate. Nothing wrong with that! Sometimes the simple answer is the best-- the trick is finding the right delivery mechanism.

 

 

 

Displaying Aggregated Info

I love my aggregator (shout out to Blogbridge) but feed reading has yet to really go mainstream. How do you get the feeds to the folks?

 

 

Google CoOp and Custom Search

Sometimes custom search-- limited to a selection of sites and blogs-- is a missing ingredient.

 

 

Ning - Create a Social Space

With Ning you can create a social website in literally just a few minutes choosing from a variety of templates for  video sharing, photo sharing, group activities, review sites, rochambo, hot or not, real estate, and many others. If you see a ning site you like you can just clone it for your own use.

 

Those with programming skills can mashup the Ning applications-- Ning provides full access to your applications PHP source code, an API, and a developer's site.
