Mashups! Take somebody else’s functionality and use it for a niche usage scenario. Sounds like a smart idea. This makes a lot of sense as many a time some really smart applications have been created but the full functionality is never utilized. That’s where a mashup uses ingenuity to devise a clever use of the application. Though many revolve around using google maps or other web maps, there remains a vast range of applications that can be tapped into for the next killer mashup. Have any ideas? Take a chance on NEO Binaries forums.
