Yahoo’s (NSDQ: YHOO) finally getting its act together on a formal social networking service, after having bits and pieces through its suite of service (disregard Yahoo 360, it didn’t really exist): Its Mash service launched in private beta this weekend, and Saul Hansell calls it “quite an homage to Facebook” for the elements Mash borrows from it. One thing’s new: users can edit their friends profiles and add personal blurbs, subject to approval by the profile owner. Yahoo says it will allow outside developers to create modules soon, and down the line, it plans to add other Yahoo services into Mash. Too little, too late?
