Sun’s Big Mashup
Thursday, November 30th, 2006
This week Sun Microsystems published a feature on how the network is changing entertainment and news gathering in the Participation Age: The Big Mashup. It features a documentary with media and entertainment thought leaders, a community blog discussing the impact of changes brought on by the network, and other related content. An interesting list of people are involved, among others Sun’s CTO Web 2.0 and Chief Gaming Officer Chris Melissinos. So Sun has a CTO Web 2.0. Wow.
It also pointed my attention to SnappRadio, a mashup that combines Flickr images with streams from Last.fm and Radio Paradise to a create a song-specific slide show.
[Update] The video of the feature does not play in my Firefox 2.
