Looking at links to "mashups" posted by Richard Adams I realised I use one or two of the sites listed, so I thought it'd be usefull if I look into what exactly mashups are...
Mashup (web application hybrid)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mashup is a website or web application that seamlessly combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience.
Content used in mashups is typically sourced from a third party via a public interface or API (application programming interface). Other methods of sourcing content for mashups include Web Feeds (e.g. RSS or Atom) and JavaScript.
Many people are experimenting with mashups using eBay, Amazon, Google, Windows Live, and Yahoos APIs.
