maximumpc.com — Some killer programs perform even better when combined with other software.

The point is that when you have sex with your girlfriend you don't call it prostitution."Mashup" is normally a Web application that combines data or functionality from two or more sources into a single integrated application. Two things that work well together don't have to be labeled a "mashup".

You'd have a pretty bloated system?
