For those over 40 like me just learning this, in Internet Lingo, a "Mash Up" is defined as:
"An Internet Site that consoldiates data from other Internet Sites and thereby saves users the time and trouble to go to multiple sites to get the same information." (My definition...probably someone else has a better one).
Why do we care? Well, I just found a Mash Up site that does a great job of consolidating available Pintos For Sale on the Internet. Since I'm still looking for a pristine Country Squire, I use this site regularly.
Thought some of the rest of you might be interested too. Just don't bid against me on Country Squires!!!

WOW, one stop shopping. And to think it wasn't all that long ago that we only had the local newspaper classified ads!
Why someone could become an "American Pinto Picker." Driving a multi car hauler all over the country picking up Pinto's.
In a way Kim (and Hubby) do it on a regional basis. And that guy from Illinois (whose name isn't mentioned here anymore) seems to have the central part of the country covered.

Bob, have you looked into that '75 Squire I told you about? It's pretty good-looking (except I do know it needs grille turn signal lense(s) but it has a new tranny and recently-rebuilt V6 and the woodgrain was replaced recently. It's an automatic with tan interior and has the forged aluminum wheels with center caps. I wanted this car SO bad but Rodeo Girl wasn't totalled like I was expecting so this gorgeous Squire didn't become mine. Plus, she was in Antelope Valley and that was before the tranny was replaced. It also explains why the guy added $800 to the price.
As for Mash-Up, I'm not yet 40 and I never heard of that term. Then again, I'm admittedly behind the times, technologically-speaking. lol. :lol:
