Yahoo! done with social networking attempt
In case you missed this news going towards weekend, let me inform you that Yahoo! is done with its social networking play, announcing that it is shutting down Mash.
“Thank you for trying out Mash Beta service, We hope you had fun with it. Please note that we will shut down Mash on September 29, 2008. As a result, your current profile on Mash will no longer be available,” Matt Warburton, community manager, wrote in an email to members.
Mash launched a year ago with hopes of competing against Facebook. Obviously, Yahoo! failed on this one. We’ll not be sad on this one. It stinks anyway.
