I'm a great believer in all sorts of mash-up's (and I'm not afraid of using those words which means I have adopted them as part of our culture and accepted them as a new reality versus rambling about their purpose). My sis is an actress and I created a webpage for her (http://www.evagaigg.com) using news updates from her twitter account (at first she was hesitant to use twitter because it's not 'big' yet in Germany), photos from flickr and videos from youtube, only her CV pdf is hosted locally and the audio files are loaded using a jQuery plugin. I think it's a really nice example of what can be done and trust me, it really bothers me that I haven't got her personal info via facebook connnect ;) Cheers, Mike Hey Miles, too bad I couldn’t hear your verbals I liked your slides and especially the notion of utilizing social media and become part of these global communication platforms.
