I have been sitting here playing with mashups every since going to the doctor yesterday. Mashups for those who don’t know yet is a way of combining information from various parts of the web into a new creation.

Mashups is looking to be the new generation in web design and information exhange. I build my first mashup and put it on the Travel Warnings which updates in real time plotted on a yahoo map. So far it doesn’t look like you have to be a hardcore programmer (I was a hardcore programmer) to build a mashup, but it helps. Mashup editors tend to baby you right now and don’t offer total control yet.

I will be posting more on mashups as I follow the learning curve.
