It's almost two years since I first researched on web mashups. I still remember having a working draft of an article I had been doing for the Journal of Canadian Health Libraries on New Year's Eve. (Hey, it was a slow day). Lo and behold, two years later, and there still have only been a handful of articles on mashups. My idol Michelle "The Krafty Librarian" Kraft has written an excellent chapter in Medical Librarian 2.0 which is perhaps the most concise to date.
I've recently written another entry on mashups, Mashups, Social Software, and Web 2.0
How Remixing Programming Code Has Changed The Web. The challenge with mashups is that it's still unfortunately a web programmer's tool. However, the next stage of the Web will be mashups. It's about opening data for others, and breaking down information silos.
