If you're still unfamiliar with the term "mashups," Microsoft's Popfly is the ideal starting point to learn about it. Mashups is a combination, merging multiple Web sites or Web-based applications together to create a new utility program, without even writing to a single line of code.

Just drag and drop "site blocks / apps" like dragging bricks, putting them together, so you have a "mashup" of instant noodles. This mashup can exist as a standalone website, or you can insert it into an existing Web site. For example, you can easily create a mashup that gathers photos from sites like Flickr, then displays them on the screen in rubic form.

2. Yahoo Pipes

You will need a bit of perseverance to learn how to create "mashups" with Yahoo Pipes. Like Popfly, Yahoo Pipes allows you to create your own "mashups" by dragging and dropping existing modules, then setting up links between them. However, using Yahoo Pipes is much more complicated and difficult than Popfly, it requires you to tinker, scramble, and understand, not easily, "obvious" as Popfly.

But if you take a hard time digging a little, you will be able to create a very useful program, such as using Yahoo's map service (Yahoo Maps) to display the location of all apartments for rent in a certain area for example.

3. BuzzDash

8. OpenDNS

One reason that sometimes, you feel the Web is so cramped, sluggish (even if you are using broadband) is the Internet Domain Name System (DNS). When you type a URL into the browser, the DNS server will have to translate this URL into a numeric IP address that the Web server and PC can understand.
