mashups


Here is the fantastic mashup I created. Its point --- unknown, its purpose --- even cloudier. But it was a fun waste of time. I can see that mashups incorporating maps with images and information can be quite useful and fun. But my slow, traditional brain hasn't conjured up much use for most of the applications on hugefunlab - other than their fun factor.

Of course, that's not to say that they aren't useful for society at large, or for libraries and other community-based institutions. I guess they provide a means to a design end - that is, any one with a computer, internet access and digital camera can try their hand at graphic design. This means that we all have a chance to partake in activities that were once too expensive and require advanced skills.
