Yahoo has decided to pull the plug on its Mash social networking service, in what has been another failed attempt to compete in this rapidly growing market.

Yahoo! Google - Game Theory and Ontology Not quite sure how I feel about the big Yahoo! announcement . To my mind, the deal raises uncomfortable ontological issues about just who Yahoo! is.
