Putting pieces together: Lotus Mashups is a new product from IBM that aims to make it easy for people to build software applications by combining existing tools. For example (shown below), a user might combine an organizational map of a company with employee pictures, profile information from the company directory, and a database of files that each person can update. In this example, these features are wired together so that when a user clicks on one person’s picture, this action pulls up the directory information for that person and a list of his files.
