The Ultimate Mashup? Or a big mess?

After prolonged deliberation, I finally decided on my second project for my Web 2.0 class - a mashup of Technorati and Blogging (which probably doesn't sound like a mashup at all, since Technorati is all about the blogs...well...) Here's my rationale...

For this summer's EME 6635 Web 2.0 Learning and Performance class, two produsage projects were required. I've seen some amazing things come out of these projects, and I'd like to be able to refer back to them easily. What I'm trying to do is create the ultimate mashup of all of our projects. We already have a Twitter account for our group (http://twitter.com/fsuinsys), so I wanted to add a couple of components to help ready our previous projects for easy retrieval in the future. First, I created a blog, http://fsuisandweb20.blogspot.com
What I hope the blog will be is a place to link to all of the wonderful projects done to date (specifically those that are not blogs - more on blogs in a minute.) If you created a WikiSpace, a SecondLife tutorial, a Flickr project, or anything else, I'd like for you to provide a link and description for it here in the blog.
Now, on to blogs. I set up a Technorati account for the class to use collectively - what I'd like to do with it is to have each of the blogs created for this course (electronic journals and produsage assignments) marked as favorites. I'll be adding those later today. Then, as you encounter blogs you want to share with others, add them as favorites to the collective Technorati account.

A huge mess? A brilliant mashup? Time will tell - but I hope for the latter, as it will facilitate continuous learning for us all as we continue to learn about and explore Web 2.0 technologies.

In experimentation,
The Mad Technologist
