Mashable gets it’s own social network

For ages, www.mashable.com has been a really good news site covering social networks, but now mashable man Pete Cashmore has thrown his hat into the social network provider ring with www.my.mashable.com.

It’s clean and simple to use, and fairly basic at the moment, but the most interesting aspect is that you can join networks for all the social sites you use, such as Myspace, Facebook, Flickr, Last.fm, Pandora etc. New starters like Virb are also included.

My lovely new profile is here.

It’s quite interesting finding out exactly how many social sites I’ve signed up for, and seeing other users, but I’d hazard a guess that this is the first step towards integration across sites.
