My Yahoo! Blog

The ever-expanding world of social networking sites and mobile applications – not to mention must-see viral videos and gadget upgrades – makes my head spin.

I’m sure I’m not alone in this.  So I want to make sure to call everyone’s attention to this very handy app from Mashable.  It’s more than just a news site, although you can catch up on the latest developments that are rapidly changing the social media landscape.

I really like the Web Video and Entertainment portions of the app.  Otherwise I never would have learned about a “super slowed down” version of a Justin Bieber song that went viral. Or seen a wacky, incredible commercial for a product called the “Comfort Wipe.” (See it for yourself.)

Mashable offers an enticing blend of vital trends and random fluff that’s buzzing on the Internet.

Having it on your My Yahoo! page is like being in with the cool kids.
