The version of Mashup I reviewed was retrieved on May 12, 2008 at 7:10 p.m. To be honest, I wasn't excited about reading the Wikipedia entry on Mashups, but found I liked it and learned more from this than I did the other readings. They listed different flavors of mashups which include consumer, data and business. Google Maps is a consumer mashup. A data mashup often includes information from an internal and external sources. A business mashup is a combination of the two other types together. As always I appreciated the specific examples of mashups, such as Chicago Crime, Flickr, Travature and Digg. I would like to check out the Travature travel portal for my next trip. Well, I was just on Travature, and they are upgrading their server currently. I'm interested in learning about other mashups that others have experienced and what they are used for.
This should conclude my weekly article content blogging.
See everyone Saturday, happy paper writing!
