Week Three #6 Mashups and Third Party Sites

I reviewed this section on Flicker and am not entirely clear on the value of a mashup. I checked out Amazons, and I can see how retailers might use it and perhaps Internet savvy people might like these type of services. Libraries are trying to create similar links to other sites, so perhaps we could consider this type of techonology for creating a seamless interface to other sites. I need to see more examples in a non retail setting to be convinced.

http://www.Bookfind.com brings together books sellers in one interface, though they do not use the terminology masher to describe their services. It is a good resource for locating print and out of print books.
