Last month, Yahoo Mash was shut down before ever leaving beta form. If you’ve never heard of Yahoo Mash, you’re not alone. It didn’t really catch on – hence the shut down. It was Yahoo’s attempt at a social network, presumably made to compete with MySpace, Facebook, and the like. That didn’t quite pan out.

While most other outlets seem to be finding new ways to get more social, Yahoo! has accepted the fact that it is not their strong suit. Yahoo!’s social media project Yahoo! Mash is about to become a corpse. It appears that a lack of interest has caused the company to give up on it. Users of the social network received an email from Yahoo! saying:

Yahoo has something in the works called Yahoo Mash, but they suffered from a case of premature invitation when they told a New York Times blogger about the service.
