What is Mashup ?

Mashup new for you? No its not
In web development, a mashup is a web page or application that combines data or functionality from two or more external sources to create a new service. The term mashup implies easy, fast integration, frequently using open API's and data sources to produce results that were not the original reason for producing the raw source data.

An example of a mashup is the use of Google Maps in Google Latitude application in Orkut to add information of friends, thereby creating a new and unique Web service that was not originally provided by any Google Map or Orkut.

Here i am including one video from ZiDNet for better understanding of Mashup. Watch it out. Its in detail.


Still if you have any question do let me know.
