. YOU ROCK!!! fantastic work!
. You understand the issue and that shows.  Great research.  I like what you are doing! Keep at it.
. you can also link to other parties driving forces
. have we set a meeting so I can help you determine your scenarios?

INTRODUCTION

Mashups of everything imaginable are appearing all over the internet, from blogs and real estate, to social networking and traffic news. Information is now being repurposed in ways never thought possible before. In the course of structuring our approach through the future of mashups, you can find below the questions that we thought of.

"The Web was originally designed to be mashed up," says Google Web developer Aaron Boodman.

Mashups – Application Exchange Services

Microsoft Business Solution Apps

DRIVING FORCES

Before we get to the scenarios, let's focus on the underlying reasons for the mashup phenomenon.

Technologists creating for ‘fun’

More than ever, the user experience matters

The desire for software reuse

Ad-hoc demand for services

Desire to make information more accessible

Advent of new web client capabilities

New opportunity to service customers or users

Tendency to catch up with the new industry standards

Customised needs of users

Emergence of broadband / growing online community / a new culture

Industry creating mashups to increase profit

Technology standard

SYSTEM DIAGRAM

Below is the outcome of an out-of-the-box thinking session we had about mashups. We tried to eloborate on the different forces that have effect on the mash-up system.

As a result, we mainly concluded on the existence of four predominant elements that have effect on the dynamics of the mashups: Society - Technology - Industry - Legal/Government.

SCENARIOS

ScenarioTable.jpg

The group focused on three scenarios altogether, what would the outcome be if mashups were very successful, misused or continued to develope slowly as is the present situation.


Scenario 1: Mashup Mania

Scenario 2: Mashup Misuse

Scenario 3: Ever Evolving Mashups?
