I really don't think most of these mashups INHERENTLY will die. They might take a huge beating in how fast they grow but I think if the current mashups continue to focus on their CURRENT userbase's needs, they can turn it into a modestly profitable venture. Not everything has to return a fortune financially:)
I do pity the startups that raised millions and were based off of google maps. It never made sense to me but hopefully they know something I don't about their long-term strategy.
