Sørgeligt ... et godt værktøj som fungerede intuitivt rigtigt, men som af forskellige årsager ikke har haft den genenmslagskraft som det potentielt kunne. Mit gæt er at det var for kompliceret for de ikke tekniske personer og for lukket/selvcentreret (omkring microsoft) for de teknisk fundererede ... På den anden side har Google også meldt deres Mashup Editor ud på et sidespor ... Mash ups er måske bare i bund og grund for halv nørdede kode hoveder ...

Google too has shut down further development on their Mash Up Editor ... Perhaps after all mash ups is for surfer nerds ...
