Intel Mashmaker is a tool that you download and "mashup" sites together. It is supposed to allow average everyday people to be able to mashup google sites, flickr, almost anything with what programmers call an api.

Look at how diigo has propagated through the internet through "word of tweet" (from twitter.)

I find this fascinating that diigo has made the "top twitter" cloud. There are certainly a lot of people following it. They are very responsive and have done a great job. They deserve it. As Horizon looks at collaboration and mashups, Diigo is something that the students will want to look at, both as a service AND at the way it has spread like wildfire, through basically "word of tweet."

This is a great example of how entertainment is changing and things are being mashed up.

This is an example of a mashup --this is a massive game of rock-paper-scissors played using flickr (for the pictures of the "throw), twitter (for taunting) and some sort of database (for the game itself.)

MessageLabs commissioned Dragulescu to visualize the threats the company finds in the 3 million messages it scans daily.

Virus, spyware code patterns translated to visual representations. May be 3d computing, a type of mashup.

His suspicions grew further when he noticed a small, flat, circular object hidden under the rim of his new bin. About the size of a 10-cent coin, it had the letters "TI-RFid" embossed on it.

RFid technology attached to garbage bins to collect data about home owners re-cycling efforts or lack of. (Australia)

Microsoft continues to attempt to negotiate with Yahoo -- this is an important piece of information to take a look at for the horizon project students -- Microsoft + Yahoo = A viable competitor for google? Is Google hurting Microsoft that much? These are things to look at as you review emerging trends.

The Microsoft + Yahoo collaborations and their competition with Google are important trends for the government_business groups to understand and review.

This is a great way to emped all types of documents directly into a blog post -- I'l be teseting this on my blog. This is very cool and is yet another way that people are sharing content. It is less about WHAT is being shared and more just about the fact that we can share it.

This is a website that lets documents be embedded in a web page and is another example of how collaboration is happening.

Now, this is cool -- you can type in your zip code and see the twitters of people within a certain distance of your zip code.

This tool lets people see who is twittering near their zip code.

This website allows you to "mash up" shakespeare and mix lines from various sonnets.

This website lets you follow conversations in twitter -- it is a handy tool to have when you're trying to extract meaning from one twitter that is obviously part of a longer conversation

This youtube video explains the "deal" with Diigo and how it can be used. This is excellent for researchers and educators. (You could even use this for grading!)

I just asked for an invitation to aviary -- a suite of web based applications for images, typography, music, 3d images, video, and all types of artists. Fascinating site.

This fascinating website gives really cool tools to edit all kinds of things. This is a great idea and something to take a look at in terms of free and open web apps.

This is a combination of twitter and a website using RSS and aggregates the students connected in this project.

Youth twitter site where students are usingtwitter to communicate with one another in short 140 character bursts. I always see fascinating things here.

Diigo also takes bookmarks and feeds and turns them into interactive slide shows -- this is a webcast about how it does it. Cool
