Mashups (Thing 9) seems almost better described as collages. The ideas of mashups is no-brainer. Everything connects. Only connect. Only integrate! How did we live without them? There are some pretty smart people out there.
You can see some examples in this YouTube video.
You'll see the Flickr badge I created here in the left margin. (I had to make some of my photos public to do this, and I used a gadget within Blogger to create.)
Speaking of collages, I tried out the Flickr Colr Pickr (where are all the "e"s...with all those missing baby socks?). Find photos on Flickr by color. Neat. The colors are so vivid when presented this way. I first went for the purples. It's interesting to see what kinds of objects come up with the colors. With purple, flowers are expected, but photos of sky and a keyboard came up, too. Then I chose different categories...graffitti by color!
I think I might use Delivr, an photo e-card service, as a more fun way to send photos to friends. I like it! Use your photos or ones in the searchable database on the site.
Using tools like these would be a great way to keep friends and family in the loop with what's going on with family news. We could add pictures to some of the SLA blogs, too.
