Over the past several years I’ve never been able to figure out what Yahoo360 is or what it does, so I don’t know if it would even be possible to merge Yahoo360 into their new frotteur network. If it’s possible, perhaps that’s what they plan to do?
Give over…
That sound in the background is not a bubbling cauldron, it is the lame screensaver from Windows 95/98 called “underwater”. It was rubbish then, and is rubbish now.
‘Masher’ = someone who rubs himself up against women? – I had never heard of that before, but I am in the UK where people ‘mash’ (make) the tea, or ‘mash’ the potatoes.
Keep up the good work (and lose the bad)
still listening (to the crappy sounds) :-))
Yes, I’ve discussed Prince with everyone, and they all find him disgusting.
Like that one? I stole it from the MASH tv series. Which has nothing to do with Yahoo’s Mash. But what a weird coincidence, eh? This sort of thing has been happening to me lately. And I’m lovin it!!
BTW, Mash also refers to a kind of love letter. Here’s other meanings.

Is Yahoo’s “Mash” supposed to be anything like M$ Zune’s “Welcome to the Social” idea? Who thinks these things up? Some old gents on the board of directors? Sounds almost late 19th century. Social.
