Mashup

Showcasing rich content by leveraging new innovative technologies and combining them.

What is a mash up, and how does it pertain to me?

Ever hear this term used and wondered what it means to you? A mashup is a website or application that combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience. It is generally created as a critique or commentary on an existing work or product. This is an important component for adding value to the user experience.

There are two perspectives in which this value becomes apparent. Businesses can utilize a multitude of public interfaces or APIs, Web feeds, and JavaScript to decrease development time and costs. On the contrary, the end consumer gets to enjoy various content sources in many innovative ways.

One example of mashup includes a Website such as weatherbonk.com, which utilizes Google Maps API to display current temperatures and forecasts for different areas. Many mashups involve data and maps like the one above.
