more on mashups- web page applications that combine data or functionality from two or more external sources to creat a new service - like adding maps from googlemaps to add location info to real estate data
created the above letters on Flickr - did this in the original 23 things - very cool

watched the video on mashups -
checked out lunchbox.com - you can put in your zip code and find restaurants with maps - did this for Nfld - read some of the reviews for some of the Nfld establishments

www.walkscore.com - this is another one that uses maps - you can put in an address and find out if that place has good stuff within walking distance - coffee shops, libraries, restaurants, bookstores, other services, etc.
