Mash Ups
I guess I don't really get Mash-ups, or at least how I would use them at the Library. I've looked at many of the samples provided this week, and I've looked at some of them before (librarything), but I don't quite understand what the difference is between a Mash-up and say using RSS feeds on you MyYahoo page (rather than setting it up using pipes as in the video), or... is that a 'mash-up' and I just didn't know it? I'll play with it a bit more.

Hi Vesper PL,
I'm not quite sure I completely get mashups either - it's not an easy concept. I know that I've used them - LibraryThing and others - but I don't know how (or want to know) to create them.
And, I think that using RSS feeds on your MyYahoo page is a mash-up. You're bringing in content to that page - and that's what a mashup is. Combining two different applications into one (very loosely).
Keep on playing!
Jean
