September 17, 2007 (Computerworld) -- Yahoo Inc. has quietly rolled out a beta version of a new social networking site called Mash that will let users to create online profiles similar to the likes of MySpace Inc. and Facebook Inc. Available now by invitation only, Mash is similar to other online profile sites. However, it also allows users to make starter profiles for their friends and to leave their own profiles open to let other "trusted" users add content, noted Yahoo's Will Aldrich Monday in a blog post about Mash. "You can customize your -- or your friend's -- profile with modules from a growing gallery of apps," noted Aldrich, who heads up the Yahoo team behind the development of Mash. "Of course, there are extensive privacy controls in Mash, and you set the boundaries that you're comfortable with."
