Extra Credit Homework

A mashup is a web site that combines information from two or more other web sites or services. For example, Google maps can be combined with a rental listing for a city to show a map with the locations of the rentals marked on the map.

The goal of this homework is for you to describe a potential mashup. You need to locate two or more sites than can usefully be mashed. Describe how the data can be collected and correlated between the sites. Also provide a rough description of the user interface for the mashup.

You do not need to actually construct the mashup (although it might make a good class project).

Submit your work by sending an e-mail message with an attached PDF document to Ken and Dennis.
