The mashup giant called Google
Filed in archive google by Arun Radhakrishnan on February 18, 2008
Ruud refers to several services from Google that make the mash-up all the more clear.
They take 20 years of public postings on Usenet, call it Google Groups and only the search results will you see this acknowledged.
They take 4000+ news sources, scan 'm, scrape 'm and then reassemble or mash them up into Google News.
They take photos of our world, our buildings, our streets - photos of us - repackage it and call it google street view.
Yes, its ultra-cool what the world's most popular search engine is doing. I would say that perhaps the announcement of Universal search was the most notable mash-up announcement from Google.
Considering the repository of information that Google is, perhaps it is the only firm in the enviable position to mash-up the web !
