IBM Mashup Center

In addition to the GA of our mashup offerings, in a package called IBM Mashup Center, we now have the same software available for everyone to play around with on Lotus Greenhouse.  Go get an account and try it out, add to our wiki. 

Fundamentally, our mashup offering is a mashup of two offerings --

1. InfoSphere MashupHub, which allows you to catalog information, and mix and match feeds -- whether they are departmental, enterprise or external.  Fundamentally, the mix and match happens by dragging and dropping feeds and wiring them together for "data operations" (select, joins, merge, transform etc.).  On Greenhouse, InfoSphere MashupHub can be reached here.
2. Lotus Mashups, which allows you to create pages (interactive views) by dragging and dropping widgets on to a palette and wiring them together.  The widgets display information (typically from InforSphere MashupHub) and/or perform different behavior based on actions in another widget.  Pages or widgets created for or in Lotus Mashups get cataloged back in InfoSphere MashupHub.  On Greehouse, Lotus Mashups can be reached here.

I will be periodicaly posting mashups on Greenhouse so that I can help explain the different use cases, but you will find many already there. 

Let us know your feedback.

Anant,
I am a fan of mashups, but have been disappointed. I had my undergrad students use IBM mashups recently but the site gave us a lot of problems. It was very slow and virtually impossible to even create an account.
Also, the feed mashup site would switch languages to french, German, etc. at will (some kind of humor I guess!). Did complain about it on the forum but there was no response.
Finally, the sharing is problematic. It is not clear to me why it is not possible to share a mashup I make with the public. Why is it that only people I authorize (and who have mashup accounts) can see my mashup.
I have other gripes too...
Best,
akhil
