  • RE: What is a mashup?

    Ah I just posted this to the wrong forum! I meant to add it
    here. This video taught me how to mashup. I just entered
    into a contest on a prepaid cell phone site. I hope I win! The
    winners get some sort of cash prize. Regardless, I did my
    first mashup thanks to you guys! Now, I'M HOOKED!
