A technical word that reads more like a slang expression ! I like this.

Well whats all this about Mashups?.
Mashups are presentation of a new service whose building blocks are smaller services pulled off from different sources.
Check this to get an whiff of how it looks like.

Although the idea is there since long, the usage of the term is gaining more popularity now.
Microsoft has even launched a free tool ( yeah , you heard it correct – FREE & from Microsoft !) called popfly to help develop mashups.

Speaking in GoF language, should I call ‘mashups’ a Decorator pattern or a Facade pattern ?.
Oh!. Wait a min.Where did I keep my Martin Fowlers :)

Here is an article from IBM on the topic.
