Say Goodbye to Yahoo Mash -

Friday, August 29th, 2008

With Social Networks on the rise there are so many different networks to check out on the web. Being aware of all them is nearly impossible as many are trying to be better than the last. Yahoo Mash was Yahoo’s attempt at what would almost seem like a facebook but run by Yahoo. Yahoo stated that they were closing this service in April of this year. Just yesterdya they have pulled Mash offline. The network was always in beta and Yahoo did not do very well at all with this test. Yahoo has over 500 million users world-wide and just couldn’t create a usable/interesting social network for users. 

From the Mash Blog:
