Yahoo launching its own Facebook site

[knightkrm]

Yahoo has secretly launched its social networking website Mash, which is aimed to take on the likes of Facebook and MySpace.

The service is currently only open to specially invited testers. It has been developed as a social networking website where you can share your life experiences with friends and family, Reuters reports.

Mash is Yahoo's second attempt to launch its own social networking website - in 2005 it launched Yahoo 360 degrees. However, the new service is entirely separate from the previous site, Yahoo said.

"Ongoing product innovation is important to Yahoo and we continue to test various products and services to gain feedback from our users. Mash, an experimental profile service, is an example of this ongoing testing," a company spokesperson said.

It will probably like Gmail... a few will go out and eventually loads more invites will be available... until its open to everyone.

Nothing very surprising as anybody who launch a new service first restrict it to very limited users to check the feasibility and then open launch it if the feedback is good enough.

My question is... Will yahoo be able to pull this off nicely? I think so... But will they win Facebook and the left overs users of myspace... Im not sure about that one...

We can just predict it right now it will depend how well they market their service and how well is their service. It would be too early to say any thing now.

It looks different but I don't think I will use it.

[Adulu]

yes, that was no any funny, excited thing.

Interesting news but they really have to work really hard to make it as successful as facebook or Myspace. Still they have to cover long journey to make the reputation.

I am having Yahoo mash account and I didn't find it better than Facebook. Though they have just restricted its membership and it is in testing stage. I do not expect them to do better the facebook.
