Body
From http://quickshout.blogspot.com

Mashpedia is a combination of a search engine and an encyclopedia. The site collects information from multiple media and different sources from books, blogs , text images to video and even Twitter references. This is a great tool for creating reading and research tasks for students, based around authentic materials. It creates genuine web based reading tasks that demand that students assess clues to text content from multiple sources before exploring the links, then read or watch for gist to check relevance before reading / listening more deeply for specific information.
