Quick thought before I dart off to Chicago for the weekend. If I have internet access (which I’m sure I will), I’ll add more.

My thoughts, lately, have been pointing in the direction of Mash-Ups on top of Mash-Ups. You have Google Maps and then Craigslist making Housing Maps. What if you took Housing Maps and then combined it with Chicagocrime.org.

You then would be able to found a nice place to live in conjunction with knowing the crime rate around your soon-to-be home. I guess the question is, “how collaborative can these Mash-Ups become before they aren’t Mash-Ups anymore and they are their own applications?” I hope I’m making sense. This is just a quick dump. Thoughts?
