L2TD Part B - Mashups

We have used Mashups to make virtual tours of our branches.
I investigated "Suburbview". It was very interesting and I researched my local area and some closer to my son's uni. It gave a good insight into the costs and location but having the images just made the choices easier. Written descriptions of properties is open to your imagination but having the images and street view made it a reality - you could see what you were getting.
I aslo looked at the Mashup awards and the New York street was impressive - maybe we coulddo that with our library refurbishment to add to the local history information on our libraries. I have been involved in the Moreton Bay Libraries Mashitup program for the past 2 years and I am still impressed with the topics and ideas people come up with for mashups - the list is endless. Originality is the best - keep creating.
