This post is part of the Glossary Series, a 100-day conversation designed to develop and clarify the language we use to describe online communication. As Year 2008 comes to a close, the emerging Glossary of Online Communication will be published along with a selection of the comments from my readership. I hope to see your comments among them.
Today’s word needs some work, as far as I’m concerned. This is Wikipedia’s definition. But I’ve seen it used in other ways. When Darren Rowse did his call for videos about “Why I Blog,” he said he’d do a “mashup” of all the entries. That doesn’t ring right with the Wikipedia definition below. What does it mean to you? How have you seen it used? I’d love to hear from digital natives on this one.
Day 7: Mashup
Mashup: n. Website or Web 2.0 application that uses content from more than one source to create a completely new service.
Okay, tell me what you know about "mashup." One thing I think about "mashup" is that it's a match for the creative process I'm watching develop through technology now.
