Mash it up!

Next week I'm off to mash-up camp.

The invention of the mash-up is a great thing.   It's an easy-to-understand manifestation of Web Services, but with an egalitarian, tinkertoy aspect that is reminiscent of the early underlying philosophy of UNIX: build tools that could be stuck together with pipes and scripts to create bigger tools.

Considering the eminent Tim Berners-Lee recently called the semantic web's killer app a "mega-mash-up," it sounds like this camp will be the place to be.  See you there, perhaps?
