week 3, thing 6 (mashups)

Two mashups that I found were Fastr and Delivr.

Fastr is a game that uses Flickr images. The computer loads pictures with the same tag and the player recieves points based on how fast they guess the image. This game is a creative use of flickr images and is a bit addictive. Some of the tags were easy to guess, while others were more challenging. Delivr is a site that creates e-postcards with images from Flickr. The postcards are imbedded into the email so that the recipient doesn't have to go to a site to view the card. It is also nice because you could use your own images to create a birth announcement or any card or just use another image from flickr. So next time, I can't find a card on Hallmark.com, I can just create my own.
