Mashups

I thought one of the most visually pleasing mashups was the Flickr Color Pickr. I also like that the designer admits that it is “a toy.” I feel that the point of a good mashup is the originality and fun found in it. Flickr Color Pickr is simple but I spent a lot of time clicking on the different colors. I also think that this would be a great site to use when working on any type of art or interior design project. You could find the exact shade you are looking for in a real life object. So, though it is just a toy, I can also see where this mashup could be useful.

On the other hand I wasn’t impressed with the Flickr Postcard Browser. It allowed you to search by keyword and it would then pull up images for you as postcards. This didn’t seem any different than a regular Flickr search to me. Maybe I was missing something.
