Mashup: A mashup on the Web is a site or application that combines features from multiple sources to create a
new service. This often involves using open APIs from different services to create an integrated solution for whatever the user is trying to accomplish on the Web. Examples of mashups range widely from metasearch engines and geolocation software to feeds and aggregators. Mashups like Ping.fm and Digsby also enhance social communication by combining several popular services into one easy-to-use application.
