SXSW - Kick-Ass Mash-Ups

Kent Brewster, a self proclaimed 'Web Guy', gave a seminar on mashups, pipes, and YQL. These are all things that I've heard of and things that I can easily conceptualize, but have never really looked into.

As Kent said, this stuff is pretty powerful and easy to implement. He rightly highlighted several shortfalls, a couple of which are: the content you're repurposing is not yours and could become malicious and when a badge or mashup becomes popular it basically turns into a distributed denial of service attack.  All in all, it was some very interesting stuff.
