#6 - Fkickr Mashups

Flickr mashups is a great way of combining data from different sources and showing the combined information in an integrated or aggregated form in a single layout. One example of this is the combination of a county map that has an icon like an arrow located at different sites on the map to show places where houses are for sale. Click on the arrow at a specific site and a detailed information of the house will appear in a window. The arrow can also show where the county's libraries are located. There are other mashups like music, photos, news, etc. There is special software for each of the mashups. It is a great invention in the internet age to present information in a fun and efficient way. A web site that shows how to create a photo mashups is http://pho.to/forum/viewtopic.php?id=232.
