Welcome to the blog version of the media mashup workshop today at WeMedia.
We looked at several example of great local info and community of interest mashups which mix and manipulate and compose feeds, widgets, editorial and more. It is incredible how many barriers have been removed from remixing content from around the web. They're meant for personal use- simple ways to mix your own content to tell a story, provide an information service or share with friends.
Then we created our own in 30 minutes...
FOR THIS WEMEDIA Mashup blog, we used:
1. Flickr tag (wemedia) and YouTube tag (miami) widgets from Widget Box
2. Put RSS feed of We Media onto a map which anyone can add to using Platial MapKit
3. Feedshake for Integrated wemedia related feeds in one place
4. Typepad for quick free blog to put all this stuff.
DURING OUR SESSION WE ALSO CREATED a Pet Rescue Blog using the same easy tools...(Keep in mind its a quick hack :) )
1. Daily Doggie widget from Widgetbox
2. DogBlogs.com feed onto a Platial MapKit
3. Typepad Blog
See list of various mixing and mashing tools here.
