Reading Notes:
What
exactly is a mashup? A mashup is a website or web-based application that combines
content from two or more different sources into one integrated experience. Widgets are mashups consisting of imbeddable
links. All that is required is copying and pasting. Since non-profits are
financially lean, mashups and widgets allow for inexpensive web enhancements.
Examples of
mashups:
ChipIn.com
lets you set up a fund-raising and tracking mini-application on your website. A
donor can use ChipIn to add funds via PayPal or credit card.
PollDaddy.com
offers a widget with real-time polling. AIMS, an internet marketing and sales
networking association, uses it on their website.
Flickr
allows for free uploading and displaying of images from digital cameras. A
non-profit can coordinate a presentation based on remote, separate uploads and
then create a link with the resulting selection which can be placed on a web
page.
