Yahoo! Hacks: Mash Up Images From Around the Web

Tags:

Overview In the music world, a mash-up combines two or more existing songs into something entirely new. A mash-up might have a song from the Beatles in the background and vocals from Snoop Dogg in the foreground, while blending in a Sesame Street song at the same time. The Yahoo! Image Search web service offers programmatic access to thousands of images, and some developers are using this service to create their own visual mash-ups - combining disparate images into games, interesting visualizations, or random works of art.
