Thing #1 Learning and Web 2.0

I've just read all of the suggested articles that were posted for our Thing #1 assignment. I am slowly gaining a better understanding of Web 2.0
The key themes that I picked up from these various articles is that Web 2.0 means
  • constant change
  • creativity
  • sharing between users
  • rich interactivity
  • simplicity

In the article "Hot Technology for 2008", the author said that blogs, wikis, social networks and mashups are all used to "collaborate with others". He said that these are easy to use and the user does not need to go through a bunch of corporate channels to create a blog. So I guess that learning the tools for Web 2.0 would be perfect for a group of librarians....who in turn can help faculty members and students gather information.

So what is a mashup?
