Mashup developers, its time to make some serious cash

mashup contestsIf you are a mashup developer, there is no time like the present to make some cash for your creations.

If any DLS readers have developed a cool mashup, feel free to share it with us.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
