Thing 6: Mashups


Mashups do seem to allow for those of us without natural born artistic ability to create fun and informational features on our blogs or web-sites rather than just endless rows of script.

I was looking at the award winners and came across this one: http://mashupawards.com/diaroogle/ which at first glance struck me as odd because 1) who would have taken the time to plot all of the clean restrooms in the country and 2) do you really want to be known as the person who did the research?. But on reflection, I can actually see a useful purpose to this, especially as a person with kids who finds it cheaper (though more time consuming) to drive rather than fly.
