Mashups are great. But I think 2009 will see a more refined world of mashups take over. We have seen plenty of mashups where a website is able to push together a mapping tool, some public data, and user-created content like comments. Mashups of applications and spaces, not just information. I love them!

John is currently working on OpenAction, a platform that connects people to the projects they care about. I remember leaving for Vegas and making a promise to Joe that I would submit a mashup to the 2009 Change the Web Challenge. The mashup was a map showing where people were volunteering in near-real-time.

The way I see it, there are many directions that technology is aiding social change work: enabling data sharing, exchange and mapping. You can make friends and call them into action, but those actions and real engagement will link to and live outside of the platform. Use the tool for what it is: a communications platform.
