Just as tagging can customize content for a specific user, mash-ups can do the same thing but with different types of content. Mash-ups can be viewed at from two angles: 1. Mash-ups or interfaces established by the user, or customized UIs 2. Mash-ups that are set up by the web developer, such as integrating Google maps, YouTube or Brigtht Cove video, or any other feed. Mash-ups re-purpose content regardless of what anybody else has tagged it or classified it. Andrew This discussion on tagging and classification made me immediately think of mash-ups.
