I still don't even get what the hell the site does. But I keep going back there to watch Veronica.

I get it.To get crazy venture capitol like the old days, you recycle a business plan from the old days. The folks at Mahalo ought to ask Yahoo how the human-powered directory business is doing for them these days. Or maybe they should just import all the sites from <a class="user" href="http://dir.yahoo.com/">http://dir.yahoo.com/</a> since that is such a popular search destination...

Not at all. Mahalo raised $20M on the idea and are seeking another $20M in funding with a ridiculous $175M valuation on the company.
