Yahoo! Mash is in invite-only beta, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t want you to share in the fun. We’re testing things out and putting in new features every day and want you to be a part of it!
We’ve received hundreds of requests for invites on the blog, but unfortunately we can’t keep up with the demand. To make the experience better for everyone, we’ll be removing all current and future requests for invites, leaving only topic-related comments.
Here’s a list of websites where you can sign up for an invite to Yahoo! Mash.
Thanks again for your continued interest in Yahoo! Mash!

Have you wondered how you can mash your friends’ profiles after you’ve sent a gazillion Mash invites? Or maybe your best friend lost their email invitation and need it re-sent ASAP! Never fear, we’re coming at you live this week with our Pending Invites feature!With the Pending Invites feature you can track the friends you created profiles for and see if they’ve claimed their profile, re-mash their profiles easily and quickly, and resend lost invites. You’ll find Pending Invites under its own tab on the Friends section at the top of your homepage. Your friends are listed alphabetically so you can find them fast – even if you’ve sent a ginormous number of invites.
The Pending Invites list shows your friend’s name (that you assigned to them), email address (that you used to create the profile), and invite expiration date. If you sent the invite more than 10 days ago, it will be invalid, your friend will be removed from the pending invites friends list, and the profile will be deleted. So, you’ll have to invite your friend again to Mash. If you resend an invite within 10 days after you first created it, your friend has an additional 10 days

Have you seen a strange face living on your page called “Mash Pet”? You can do a variety of things to it like snorgle, lick, slap, and zap. But did you know you can also give your pet a facelift with just a few simple settings?
Pssst. Come a little closer. Here’s what you need to do to use the secret settings: Use the Mash Pet’s “change name” link to bring up a field to input special values! But, here’s the trick. The special values don’t actually change your pet’s name. They actually change your pet’s mood or its picture!
Change Your Pet’s Mood
The simplest secret setting to change is your Mash Pet’s mood. Use the “change name” link to bring up the editable field. Input “banana:mood=number” where number is a whole number less than 60. Try changing your pet’s name to “banana:mood=0″ and see what happens. Change your pet’s name to “banana:mood=30″ to change its mood to “meh.” Continue flipping through the emotions and find one that you want to use for our next secret setting, changing the Mash Pet picture!
Change Your Pet’s Image
Wanna step it up? Change your Mash Pet’s image to suit its mood. Find any images you want to use for the moods — dead, dejected, sad, meh, content, or happy. Th

Hello, Mashers! My name is Frederique. I’m a product manager on the Mash team. I’ll be blogging here to tell you about new features. And I can’t wait for you try our latest addition to Mash: private messaging.
Now you have an alternative to your public Mash guestbook. With private messaging, you and your fellow Mashers can communicate with each other one-on-one. The messages are sent to the primary email address that you’ve selected on Mash. Here’s how to send a message: 1.Go to your friend’s Mash page and click the “send a message” link on the profile card. You’ll go to the Compose a Message page. 2.Type your message. 3.Type the code that’s shown. (We provide this feature to prevent automated emails from spamming our Mashers.) 4.Click “send message.” You’ll return to the recipient’s Mash page and a banner at the top of the page lets you know that the message was sent.
