Intel Mash Maker, Mash Your Way Into Social Stardom

Intel has released beta version of its Mash Maker. I joined and played with it and I really like it.Then I set out to explore countless mashups done already by various people. Some are good and some are bad but you get a real nice ideas about what you could do with this tool. For now;

You can:

  • Build mashups on-the-fly - combine content from multiple sources such as web content, videos, maps, RSS feeds, photos, and display in one place
  • Manage your mashups - tools that let you manipulate, save as favorites, edit, sort, annotate, and share your mashups with friends, or with social network sites
  • Design and tailor your mashup your way - visualization features that let you customize, control the layout, and view your mashups any way you want
  • Adapt your mashup to your persona - inherent enabling technology delivers on-demand information, adapts to your areas of interest and preferences
