Just a couple of hours ago, Yahoo gave a selected few a peek at its new social networking site called Mash, though I'm not too sure why Yahoo bothered at all. Yup, at the moment, it's in beta (everything seems to be in beta).
Mash doesn't seem to include any special or attractive features that aren't already in other social networking sites except for some mashing capabilities. It seems your friends can add modules to your page, which is not something I'd be fond of, since on social networking sites, friends come and go like the unpredictable rain here.
The slightly more useful feature is the ability to "mash" different Yahoo apps together. TechCrunch didn't mention this in detail so I'm sure how this would work. But I'm thinking iGoogle but instead of being viewable by yourself, it'll be made public.
If you wanted a preview, don't bother clicking the link above or visiting Mash since you need an invite to Mash. You could however visit TechCrunch for a few screenshots of Mash.
And for those who really want one, invites are available at InviteShare (by TechCrunch).
