Over the past few days I have hacked together my first mash-up:

   http://infomotions.com/juice/

By entering a word or phrase the system will:

   1. use a REST-full interface to query a few dictionaries
   2. use a Perl module to query an encyclopedia
   3. use Z39.50 to query a catalog

Next steps will be to include additional content (images, music,
maps, articles, etc.), additional tools (bibliographic and Internet
indexes, atlases, stores, etc.), and additional services/
functionality (save, print, email, review, etc.)

Fun!
