There is a new game in town! If you have received your invite to Yahoo Mash you have seen all of the new Mash Pets. This has created a new game. When you follow threw with an action, like zap the Mash Pet, on Yahoo Mash it creates a link back to your profile. From what I have seen this is a great ice breaker to meet people who are also using Yahoo Mash. I do not recommend killing someones Mash Pet! They may retaliate and change your profile to something not so pretty. Just a warning…

There is a bonus to either feeding, zapping or petting a Yahoo Mash Pet. A backlink is created going to your profile. While adding backlinks to your profile the action also creates more weight to your profile for future profile building!

So how many Mash Pets can you zap in an hour?

[evil grin] Today I was looking for more places to add a link! [/evil grin] When I came across Muhammad Saleem’s blog post "Yahoo has a new social network and i want to mash with you!"

Immediately I thought I hit a jackpot! More places to add my little links. I was right! It is a good place to add a link or five. But it is also a very simple social network that I am sure I will be using a lot in the near future. So far it is treating me well.

Mash appears to have many of the tools their other products have, so using it will be easy as always. It also looks like it has many Facebook features as well.

Will Aldrich quotes in his blog:

We just started inviting our friends outside Yahoo! to join us in testing
Mash: a new approach to online profiles. If you’ve used other online
profiles before you’ll feel at home in Mash. But there are some new twists
that make things a little interesting and, we think, a lot of fun.

1. You can make starter profiles for your friends. Think: “first round’s on
   me.”
2. You can leave your profile open to contributions by trusted friends.
3. You can customize your — or your friend’s — profile with modules from a growing gallery of apps.

Of course, there are extensive privacy controls in Mash and you set the
boundaries that you’re comfortable with.

I do not wish to keep you waiting any longer. So if you would like an invite from me, comment below and I will send you an invite ASAP!

I know you want one!!!
