Yahoo has released an online social portal into beta, Yahoo! Mash.
As you can see from the photo of my profile (above), it has some of the same look and feel of MySpace, without all of the advertisements (for now at least).
Here are the basic components of a Yahoo Mash profile page:
- Basic info
- Photo
- Name
- Quote
- Profile Revision History - About Me
- simple standardized questions - My Stuff
- area to add links (opportunity) - Blurt
- area to add a “blurt” (removable) - Guestbook
- Sorry, I’m not available, leave a message in the box for everyone to see. (removable) - Style this Profile
- adjust the look of your profile
- five easy adjustments
- advanced css available - Customize by adding modules
- this includes widgets like flickr, rss feeds and more - Friends
- Tags
Can this give Yahoo an edge in the social market that many consider they have owned since taking it from AOL until MySpace and Facebook came showed on the scene a few years back?
If you would like to experience Yahoo Mash beta, let me know by sending me an email: pittfall@seopittfall.com.
If you have already experienced this new social portal, what do you think?
