If you have ever been to the UK then you would know that Banges and Mash is the unique way they call sausage served with mashed potatoes. This post really has nothing to do with that but was an attempt at a cleaver way to introduce a new technology called mashup’s.

A mashup is web application that allows you to combine various data streams together to create a new tool. Some of the mashup technology that is being used today are pulling data from craigslist and google maps into one tool. One that I found allows you to enter your city and it displays a map of all the local garage sales.

To create a mashup there are various tools to make them. One of the more popular tools is Yahoo Pipes. Here is a great video that shows how to use Pipes to make your own mashup.

Have you made a mashup? What mashup can you see being created for future use?
