Mashup Assignment

1. For me, I enjoy listening to music a lot, and I am a very visual person so being able to view music videos while I listen is fascinating to me. I found a website after searching under music that allows me to type in whatever artist I would like listen to, and gives me all of the available music videos to watch. After either typing an artist through the search engine or clicking one of the tags, their is a direct link to watching these videos on you tube or listening to the songs from at last. So, Lastfm. and YouTube are the sites that are mashed up with I love Music Video and the link is http://www.ilovemusicvideo.net/. I am glad I found this website so now I will have no problem searching for whatever music video I wish to view.
2. I definitely enjoyed going back to the housing maps page we viewed in class, on http://www.housingmaps.com/ because for me, I will be soon be searching for an apartment within the next year and this website seems like the most simple way to do so. Craigs List and Google maps are mashed up with this. I feel this is a great way to view apartments, and get the overall layout of where it is and what it is near. Finding an apartment in San Francisco seems quite difficult but with the help of housing maps I think my search will be a lot less stressful and a better experience.
3. I found a mashup site that refers to the subway station in Boston, http://www.thrall.net/maps/mbta.html that is mashed up with Boston, Tagging, and Transit. This website is very useful seeing as I live south of Boston, but have no idea how to get around that city. Boston is a lot more confusing that San Francisco but with this website I can probably find my way around now. It gives links to choosing whatever line on The T one will need such as the green line or the red line, and the map can either be in map form, satellite form, or hybrid. Their is also a link on the site that says post to del.icio.us - which as I remember from class we can add bookmarks to that site and view from any computer. This website will definitely be helpful for me in the future.
