I’m Following Mashup Camp from a distance. Wish I was there! Looks like an exciting gathering of a bunch of really interesting people!

Call me a single-minded, but I can’t help but be reminded of a really cool, yet probably not well known feature of BlogBridge.

There’s a whole collection specialized SmartFeeds which directly integrate with a variety of other services on the ‘net, like Technorati, Del.icio.us, Connotea and others.  One of them is them is Flickr. Check this out.

You can create a “Flickr SmartFeed”, indicate mashupcamp as the tag and instantly get a stream of pictures, right in your aggregator. Analogously, you can create a “Technorati SmartFeed” to follow everyone tagging their stuff “mashupcamp.”

Getting metaphysical: Is it a Mashup? Or does it need to be more ad-hoc to qualify as a mashup? Does it have to be Ajax to be a mashup?

Frankly it doesn’t matter: it’s just handy, that’s all!
