Mash-ups...

So, when I first saw the term "mash-up" in this discovery exercise, I thought of the artist Girl Talk, with his mash-ups of classic rock, top 40 pop, and hip-hop songs that always seem to somehow go perfectly well together.  Flickr mash-ups are an entirely different breed, though just as fun.  Flickr users have created their own creative applications, including those as creepy as Girls of Flickr (an application designed to help users find all of the "hot" women on the site), to apps as simply entertaining as the Flickr Color Pickr (an app with which you can choose any color in the rainbow and come up with a collection of pictures in the same hue) and Montagr (a mosaic application that creates a given picture in mosaic form with other Flickr users photographs).  Almost an hour snuck away from me as I experimented with these "mash-ups"...I can only imagine how much time will disappear when I am more familiar with web design and the html process...
