IBM has unveiled a preview version of two mashup tools that, according to IBM would let non-technical users to "mash up" information and data from various sources to build new applications.

Being made available at IBM's AlphaWorks site, the preview includes IBM's Mashup Hub Server that saves RSS and other types of feeds, and an improved version of IBM's QEDWiki interface that allows users to link data sources to create a single view of information.

The kit, which is expected to be generally available during the first half of next year, is designed to combine information from databases, departmental information, personal information or data from the Web (like weather reports and maps) to quickly build new applications to address specific business needs, IBM said.
