mash-up

A mash-up is a Web page or application that integrates complementary elements from two or more sources. Mash-ups are often created by using a development approach called Ajax. Here's a sampling of mash-up Web sites:

* Panoramio: a mash-up of Google Maps and geopositioned photographs of locations
* Hiking Outpost: a mash-up of Amazon and online hiking information resources
* Flash Earth: a zoomable mash-up of Google Maps and Microsoft's Virtual Earth
* Diggdot: a mash-up of Digg, Slashdot and Del.icio.us that integrates content
* HousingMaps: a mash-up of Google Maps and Craigslist rental ads that displays geographical information for rental properties.

Like blogs, vlogs and tagging, mash-ups are part of an ongoing shift towards more a more interactive and participatory Web (Web 2.0) with more user-defined content and services. According to Aaron Boodman, quoted in BusinessWeek online, "The Web was originally designed to be mashed up. The technology is finally growing up and making it possible."

The term mash-up originated in the music industry. It is sometimes spelled mashup.
