Mashup application

Mashups are an exciting genre of interactive Web applications that draw upon content retrieved from external data sources to create entirely new and innovative services. They are a hallmark of the second generation of Web applications informally known as Web 2.0.

In short "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."

There are many types of mashup, such as data mashups, consumer mashups, and enterprise mashups:
  1. Data mashups combine similar types of media and information from multiple sources into a single representation.
  2. Consumer mashups generally visual elements and data from multiple sources
  3. Business mashups generally define applications that combine their own resources, application and data,with other external web service.
