Mashups Revisited

I imagine that most libraries have the same idea about Mashups that I do. I would love to see google maps combined with Flickr photos of the Local History Collection mashed so that people can view the townships in either map, satellite or street view and then have the option of viewing the local history images of that location.
I still find mashups slightly confusing. I understand what they do, but don't necessarily understand how they work.
The other idea for a mashup is to create a Facebook Page and link it to our own website. That way when updates are made on the website, they are reflected on Facebook. I would also love to see a Catalogue and Database search tool used on a Facebook page. Very convenient!
