Mashups?• A mash up is a website or web application that

seamlessly combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience.

• Content used in mashups is typically sourced from a third party via a public interface or API. Other methods of sourcing content for mashups include Web feeds (e.g. RSS or Atom) and JavaScript.

• The etymology of this term almost certainly derives from its similar use in pop music.

• Many people are experimenting with mashups using eBay, Amazon, Google, Windows Live, and Yahoos APIs.

Mash up Quotes:

• Nowadays, there's a lot of talk about Web 2.0, web mashups, Ajax, etc., which in my mind are all facets of the same phenomenon: that information and presentation are being separated in ways that allow for novel forms of reuse." Sho Kuwamoto

• "We know we don't have a corner on creativity. There are creative people all around the world, hundreds of millions of them, and they are going to think of things to do with our basic platform that we didn't think of. So the mash up stuff is a wonderful way of allowing people to find new ways of applying the basic infrastructures we're propagating. This will turn out to be a major source of ideas for applying Google-based technology to a variety of applications." Vint Cerf

Long Tail•The future of business is selling less for more•The economics of abundance

Creative squanderingDon’t do one thing; do it allDon’t store some; store it all; don’t sell one piece of content, sell it all

•Market of one is the biggest of all?•The “getting small” of business:

Combine enough non hits on the Long Tail and you've got a market bigger than the hits!

"The biggest money is in the smallest sales.“ Barnes & Noble carries 130,000 books More than half Amazon sales from OUTSIDE top 130,000

The market for books not sold in the bookstore is larger than those that are! Google makes most of its money from small advertisers eBay the same Children today will grow up never knowing the meaning of “out of print”

BUT, that isn’t why WE care about the Long Tail………….

Parting Thoughts:• Think about inverting the norms:

Producers become consumers Consumers become Producers

Turning customers into employees (eg content contributors) Employees as customers (using your own)

• Serious Play; how are YOU learning? Reading or listening NOT ENOUGH! Largely experiential now Try out some of the previous list

• Develop skill of UNLEARNING Switch your watch hand No directories!
