Before reading these articles I thought mashups only came into play when it came to music. I never thought about the many different examples of mashups. The one that really shocked me the most was shopping mashups that was mentioned in the article “The new breed of web app.” I never looked at ebay and Amazon as mashups.
I have mixed feelings about mashups being a potential threat, because its technically not the same exact thing in some cases, because they do add their own twist to it. I feel like it has a chance of becoming a threat if its too similar or it does better than the original.
