I’m a part of a lot of social networks, being an employee of a company that specializes in building social network sites, you won’t find it surprising. Now, some of you probably are aware of our own social network — moomai — where your friends are responsible in adding contents to your profile. So when Yahoo! Mash was launched that has the almost same idea with moomai which, at that time, was in its very buggy early state, I naturally found an invitation to it from my boss.
Having said that I’m part of a company that’s focused on building social network apps, I understand that if your app is in beta then you can’t promise that you won’t be having any style bugs.

How Yahoo! Mash displayed Tech Hive’s feed, how did this happen, I have no idea. It seems that my feed’s not showing any content.
But then again, isn’t this problem quite easy to spot? Besides.. these are lines, they’re supposed to be displayed in block. Why do they behave as if they’re inline elements?
I looked into their code and it seems that some elements were left open because the first (100, I guess) characters on my entries are not showing up (for some reason). Shouldn’t the lack of content not break anything on the site still? Oh well, I guess this is one of those one in a million chances.
