I think housingmaps.com is a perfect example of a mashup made for the masses. Basically make it so people don't have to think about how to use it nor that any mashup is happening... just give me the information I want! :) I agree that Ubiquity is definitely targeted at geeks… on the other-hand I will not say mashups only work for geeks.

For me, Ubiquity aims the mashup tool at the right users, i.e. geeks who want a way to hack the browser and bend it to their will. That's why it has been well-received by the navel-gazing blogosphere. I like it as a tool and as an idea, but we'll see over time if it catches on for everyday use.
