Google introduces its new Mashups Editor to a limited number of developers today. A mashup is a website or application that combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience. Google's mashup editor provides simple tools and features that allow users to create mashups in only a few minutes, enabling users to publish mashups "for the world to see" (in Google's words).



Here's a brief overview of Google Mashups:
