Josh Tynjala has built a very cool mashup using Mate and Flint particle systems that combines the top musical artists on Last.fm with the community conversations on Twitter.
He built the application to explore Mate and experiment with Flint. Even though this was a "learning tool" it is very polished and it looks great.
He says:
To me, [Mate] felt like I spent less time making the framework do its thing because I wasn't creating half a dozen different classes to get one minor action to happen, yet it still felt organized.
The source is available, so you can fully explore this fun app. He also posted some additional information in this entry.

Brian Rinaldi has written an article titled "Hello Mate! A Beginner's Guide to the Mate Flex Framework" for the first issue of the Flex Authority journal. He covers some basics of Mate while building an application that uses ColdFusion as a backend. Because he had built the same application in Cairngorm, he makes some comparisons and draws some parallels to make it easier to understand if you are familiar with Cairngorm.
The code for the article can be found at Brian's Google code site.
