Mashups offer so many exciting possibilities, but this week has also shown how vulnerable products can be. At the drop of a hat Myspace decides that Photobucket videos are persona non grata and its good night nurse. I was amazed to see what a huge slice of the photo storage market photobucket has - over 50%.

That said, there are some great new tools  that have been launched in the past couple of weeks that could be really useful for businesses. Scribd is fantastic and seems to be going well. This is the print answer to Youtube. Publish pretty much anything as a PDF, Word or Text document, and you can even have it read back to you. The recent upgrade of Ning is also pretty interesting. Ning is a social networking host that allows you to build your own social network with video, photo, blog, forum hosting etc. Looks great for hospitality/tourism type buisnesses.

Youtube continues to be a source of inspiration and creativity. What do you get when you combine Google Earth and Youtube? Take a look at some of these short grabs from MK Bath and think of the possibilities.
