Yahoo Invites Us Into it's new social network Mash!

So here we go again...this time it's Yahoo’s new social network: Mash.

Mash includes features common to Facebook, MySpace, and My Yahoo. You can load a set of modules onto your profile page and move them around drag-and-drop style. The modules include Flickr RSS, Ego Boost, Common Friends, MyMoshLog2, Blog Module (RSS 2.0), Asteroids, Astrology, PimpMyPet, Hover, Kaleidescope, Guestbook, and My Stuff. Mash also has something called Pulse, which is very similar to Facebook’s news feed. The Pulse page shows “updates from your friends” that are basically Twitter-like messages reporting all of your friends’ activity on Mash. The modules gallery also states that “in the coming months we’re going to open up our module development platform to 3rd party developers.” The site is an invitation only application at the moment... so expect some requests to join from your friends in the future...
