Thing 5: More Fun with Flickr

Discovery time:

Mashups seemed like an interesting thing to explore. Despite out of date links, I was able to find some examples of mashups at the Webmonkey site and really like this prize winning site Podbop. Enter your city and a calendar list of off many (notice, I didn't say all) of the bands playing in the area appears. What makes this site different than say City Pages or Vita.mn, is that there are sound clips, freely and legally available. Users can listen to a band before heading out and paying a cover fee only to discover that the Detroit Cobras may not be to their liking!

The assignment:

R E for Energy Alphabet Block a D

23 Things posted a warning that Flickr spelling could be addictive. Right they are! I'll have to add this site to my bookmarks and use these fun creations in future library publicity materials.
