    2. so...what’s all this about mashups? a mashup... > combines 2 or more data sources (?) > uses the power of the distributed web > tends to create innovation in unexpected ways > is usually easy(ish) to build > "the web as platform"
    3. why should we care? > distributed data / services is the way to go > this approach has access to a pool of creativity unlike anything you've seen before.. > ..so the outcomes are mostly interesting, sometimes useful but almost always innovative

    14.  
    15. what problems can there be? > stability isn't always guaranteed > standards are only partially defined > you're reliant on other people's data > if you're a provider, you don't know what they're doing with your content... > dirty data
    16. conclusions > you can achieve a lot with some thinking time > need to get used to the concept of "disposability", both for applications and for data > debate about standards and interoperability will go on but we can still get things done > this is only the beginning...
    17. thanks to.. > everyone who participated > ross and uni of leicester for providing facilities > eduserv for refreshments > you, for listening
