Yahoo!'s Mash, which we
wrote about earlier, has joined its earlier attempt at social networking, Yahoo! 360 in the trash heap. Of course,
360 hasn't died
quite yet, despite being
targeted for "transition" by Jerry Yang late last year.
... we intend to transition Yahoo! 360 to a more integrated Yahoo! “profile” experience ...
An email sent to users of the service, which never left invite-only mode, details the closure:
Warburton also wrote a
blog post regarding the shutdown, adding more details about any profile info users might have:
All of the content on your Mash profile with the EXCEPTION of your profile photo, nickname, age, sex and location (if you’ve provided this information) will be unavailable starting September 29th, 2008. If you wish to save any of the information that’s currently available to you on Mash, we strongly recommend that you return to http://mash.yahoo.com immediately and copy the content that you wish to save onto a separate document.
There were a few comments posted to Warburton's blog entry, asking "why?" Take a look at this Quantcast graph, which shows that site traffic has dropped below 2K (unique visitors) a month. That's two thousand. 'Nuff said?
