As part of a series on new web technologies, CNet has a long article about mashups that, like previous articles from other news organizations, serves as both an introduction to and summary of the whole Google Maps (and Yahoo! Maps, to a lesser extent) phenomenon, with a sampling of some of the hacks out there and a discussion of the implications for monetization and local search. But if you’ve been following this mashup thing seriously, there is very little that is new here.
