Thing 40. Mashup the Web

I took a look at several Mashups on this Thing. I especially liked LibWorm, an RSS aggregator that allows you to track blogs and podcasts on feed catagories (ex.: Academic Libraries, Art Librarianship) and subjects (ex.: Reader's advisory, Reference) from the library world.

My other focus was on mashups that used Flickr: Visual Headlines provides a cool interface and links to photostreams about current news events. Favorite Surfer, from Big Huge Labs, allows you to browse Flickr user's photostreams. Interestingness is a great-looking site, using Flickr images, but it's got little in the way of navigation and is thus hard to work with.

Below is a mashup from Bubblr.
