A friend of mine shot me links to: photomashing.com & halloweenmashup.com yesterday.

What exactly are they? They’re an example of these Web 2.0-ey mashups.

What the h*ll is that you ask?

Simply put, the mashup concept is a website/service that allows you to interact with existing content and create new ‘mashups’ from currently popular site(s) data & APIs (don’t ask me to explain much more or I’ll have to get uber-geek on you).

photomashing.com is a site that I am told will change thematically throughout the year and will allow for you to take flickr photos that you like and get shirts & other swag produced from them.

The few samples they have up now cover:

1) Google Logo Mashing
2) Hot Girls Mashing
3) Apple Logo Mashing

halloweenmashup.com is another example of mashups meeting niche and seasonal themes.

I could easily picture other holiday and event mashups being created to allow you to find parties or events locally with the use of google maps & other data.

I’ll post more on mashups and Web 2.0-ey stuff as they’re often entertaining and VERY viral by nature.

Take care and have a great rest of the day!
