While not technically a mashup, the theory is very similar - take two useful services and make tem work together with a minimum of effort - the result of which should be a better solution than the individual pieces.

In this case, it is also a brilliant method of marketing exposure.

Yugma Skype opens-up the door to contextual, just-in-time collaboration, making it possible for any existing Skype user to start screen-sharing, live annotating or giving remote control of the screen to anyone in a few mouse clicks. What’s more impressive is that Yugma for Skype supports up to ten concurrent users and is absolutely free.

By offering a free Skype plug-in, Yugma takes the best route available to those companies wanting to build a significantly larger user base without the marketing costs that this would normally entail.
