And you thought you were off the hook just because I’m on leave – foiled again: I’ve cunningly queued this blog post to be sent at a specified time in my future. (Cue Tardis music.)
Never fear, the task this fortnight is to play!
One of the cool things about web 2.0 is mashups. A mashup is when a website takes data from two or more other places and mashes it together seamlessly to create something new. Like real estate agents plotting open homes on Google Maps. Or Mappr which placed Flickr images on a map.
There are a lot of Flickr mashups out there. So this fortnight choose just three to look at quickly, and then come to our next meeting (on the 5th December) ready to tell us about one of them.
Some Flickr mashups can be found at:

- Ten Best Flickr Mashups (learning 2.0 hint: don’t actually read the text unless you’re really interested, just skim until you find a link you can click; in this case on page 2)
