Session M: Part One
In Pete's half of the session we explored how companies are sharing their content for others to repurpose and redistribute. Sharing, rather than protection, is one of the hallmarks of many of the successful "web 2.0" websites. So when you think of a concept in the future but think "ah but they'd never have the budget to map the entire world" think again...
The presentation was made with a new tool called Trailfire which allows you to annotate, and then share, a series of web pages. You can try clicking on this trail, although I'm not sure if it will work as a lot of the linked pages include a lot of DHTML:
http://trailfire.com/snowcrash
Either way, here are the URLs that featured in the session:
http://ononemap.com/map/index?maptype=Sales
http://www.discoverpirateisland.com/
http://www.armyoneverest.mod.uk/GoogleEarth/
http://www.programmableweb.com/matrix
and if a website isn't playing nice and not sharing it's content then you can always use a tool like http://www.dappit.com/.
PS If you'd like to create your own mashup then IBM have a very good tutorial
