WOTD

word of the day. or phrase of the day.

“application bleed”

-It’s as good a term as “mashup” at least. It’s what happens when you get Wifidog to work with Flickr, to work with GoogleMaps, to work with Delicious to work with iTunes.

I saw the phrase used here in Jo’s notes of a high-level community wifi meetup.

    Hey Mike !
    Are you sure it’s not just a typo ? I thought it was “The applications will blend into each other…”, that’d make sense, of course even if it’s just a typo you might as well have just created a neologism of yours. You’ll become famous for this ;-)

    nah, you could probably use “bleed” in the same way as “blend”.

    But it’s not perfect because it doesn’t imply that it’s intentional by the applications.
