And like Wikipedia, The most interesting part of the Mash model is that, by default, your friends can edit your pages. Not just write on your wall, but really get in there and rearrange vital organs. Someone added a custom RSS feed (Webware, of course) to my page, for example. I returned the favor by putting a picture of a Mars Attacks action figure on his background.
As with Facebook, here user gets a library of modules that users can add to their pages. These modules include RSS, Flickr, and of course, a “Mash Pet.” Mash is looking to compete head-to-head with Facebook in particular.
