Mashup applications are complete applications that use APIs in a synergistic way to provide value that does not exist before. In this mashup application, we showed how a job board could benefit from mashing up APIs from various providers including Facebook, Google Maps, Indeed, Daylife, and Technorati. The combination of the services and the uniqueness of the emergent services show how new applications can add extra value to their existing functions by mashing up external services and integrating them as part of their own.
