Mashup

A mashup is a website or other software application that takes content from multiple sources to aggregate it into a single source. Mashups became popular with the second generation of Web applications informally known as Web 2.0. Mashups add value by consolidating content and functionality retrieved from multiple data sources.

Developers create mashups using public interfaces, screen scraping, APIs, Web feeds (e.g. RSS or Atom), and JavaScript.
