Thing 21: Mashups

Librarian trading cards! So.much.fun. But the site is blocked here at work, so its a no-fly zone.

I did make another card instead:

So much of the web's media is interconnected; Goodreads pulls from Amazon and pushes to Facebook. Our library catalog connects to both OCLC and Google. Where does pull/push end and mashup begin?

Isn't everything a bit of a mashup? Think of Tumblr. Tumblr collects all of your reposts and original media in one place...and posts to and from Twitter and Facebook. Couldn't that be called a bit of a mashup?

I expect to see more and more sharing and less original content...or originial content coming from traditional sources and being shared via Twitter and Facebook. Like NPR...reposted. Gossip goes electronic!
