“In Web development, a mashup is a Web page or application that uses and combines data,

presentation or functionality from two or more sources to create new services. The term

implies easy, fast integration, frequently using open APIs and data sources to produce

enriched results that were not necessarily the original reason for producing the raw source

data.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_(web_application_hybrid)
