Mashup Assignment

http://www.mibazaar.com/top100celebrities/

I found this mashup site, which contains the Top 100 Forbes celebrities. You can click on each celebrity and are taken to their state of residence on the map and presented with a youtube video tribute to them. It's like a map quest/you tube site. Personally, I don't see a point in this website except for mere entertainment. It seems rather silly and not exactly necessary. I don't know what good it does. It definetly represents a mashup well because it contains so many different web application (ie. youtube, mapquest/google map system). So, it's a good example of a mashup.

I don't really see the point to this also. I guess it's kinda cool to see where celebrities are from but it doesn't really serve a purpose. I don't really feel educated looking at this. Good example of a mashup though.
