A mashup is a website or application that combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience.Content used in mashups is typically sourced from a third party via a public interface or API, although some in the community believe that only cases where public interfaces are not used count as mashups. Other methods of sourcing content for mashups include Web feeds (e.g. RSS or Atom) and JavaScript.
Many people are experimenting with mashups using Google, eBay, Amazon, AOL, Windows Live, and Yahoos APIs. Mashup stuff is a wonderful way of allowing people to find new ways of applying the basic infrastructures that these companies propagate.
