Flickr Mashups

So I've been checking out some Flickr Mashups. I found a website that has listed the 10 Best Flickr Mashups (according to them, of course...you may find some that you like better!)


I must say that I've had a hard time wrapping my head around this whole Mashup thing. Before the Tech Fair, when I heard the word "Mashup", I thought this was something strictly related to music (like when the musician Danger Mouse blended the music of the Beatles and Metallica.) As I learned more about Mashups, I just kept thinking, what is the point??? The whole thing seemed rather complicated to me. But, now, I'm starting to get it.

I did find a Mashup called Fastr that is kind of cool. It's actually a game where you are shown several Flickr images, and you have to identify the common "tag." Kinda fun if you are bored!

Ooooooh...Flickr!

This site is great. I had heard of it before the Tech Fair, but had never actually visited the site. I adore hydrangeas (hence, my username "nikko blue", which is one of my favorite hydrangea cultivars) so I decided to do a simple search for "nikko blue" and see what came up. I was so surprised to see all of the beautiful results--over 100 hits! My own hydrangea plants (I believe I'm up to six now) are all very young, with only one finally blooming this year, so of course I am envious of all the beauties found on Flickr!
