The idea behind web mash-ups is to create a new service by combining one or more aspects of existing sites, thereby cutting out the need to surf your way around the web. As such, they can be a handy time-saving tool if you're on the road with limited browsing time. So we've trawled the web to come up with five mash-ups with something to offer the business traveller - whether it's help finding a good hotel or a quick and easy way to get your RSS fix.

Find a hotel
Blending Google Maps with its own video footage of hotels, this mash-up reckons it can help you find a place to rest your head at the end of a hard day. It covers Western European capitals at present - and only a selection of hotels in those cities - but the vision of video content showcasing the reality of that four-star port of call sounds is worth chasing.
