Intel has beta released Mash Maker, a plug-in for FireFox that allows end users to make their own mashup pages. Mash Maker works in the FireFox (Mac version 1.0 and greater) and in Windows under FireFox (v1 +) and I.E. 7.
The idea is good, but it is still in beta so expect a few glitches. Mash Maker allows you to take pre-made widgets and make floating, collapsible windows above your web content. Calorie counters, stop watches, Google Maps and note takers are just some of the pre-installed widgets. An API is available to create your own, but no programming knowledge is needed to use the pre-defined widgets. The download is simple, but requires a registration to login to the plug-in.
