- inactive, on 12/12/2007, -3/+18The site still looks like an ugly link farm.
- givemereplay, on 12/12/2007, -5/+15Mahalo mahalblows.
- Roger, on 12/12/2007, -0/+8Wasn't he the guy behind netscape.com?
There's no way this is gonna fail. - themarq, on 12/12/2007, -2/+9As opposed to an attractive link farm? :)
Seriously, Mahalo is still around? I had assumed Calicanis would be out of cash by now. - bprice25, on 12/12/2007, -0/+5The term social networking has become as old and annoying as web 2.0
- missingnoh4x, on 12/12/2007, -5/+10Sounds like heaven for linkspamming bots.
- AllenS, on 12/12/2007, -1/+6"Frankly, I wouldn't bet against him."
I would. I hate that conceited little prick. - portwojc, on 12/12/2007, -3/+6So far my experience has been looking for something in Google and getting linked to Mahalo to only find it not having the information I wanted but more links. So I hit the back button and move on trying to remember not to hit their links...
- cbartlett, on 12/12/2007, -2/+4I still don't even get what the hell the site does. But I keep going back there to watch Veronica.
- josefresco, on 12/12/2007, -5/+6the home page needs help, I agree but the site in general is very useful and really presents a fresh look on search results.
- inactive, on 12/12/2007, -0/+1Google says, "Did you mean: venture capital"
- sunchild, on 12/12/2007, -0/+1But, but, but...long tail, dude.
- sunchild, on 12/12/2007, -1/+2I love stuff like this because ultimately the Valley investors will be fleeced and the money will end up on Wall Street where it belongs.
- oshu, on 12/12/2007, -1/+2I 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 http://dir.yahoo.com/ since that is such a popular search destination... - MaruLono, on 12/12/2007, -1/+1no mahalo, i'm good.
- kuroaisu, on 12/12/2007, -4/+4Far from it. When I spoke with him for this article on Thursday, he said that Mahalo is well funded enough to stay afloat without significant revenue for 5 years. They're doing 1.8M uniques/Month currently, and growing like mad. Granted, those aren't numbers that register on Google's radar just yet, but it sounds like they're headed in the right direction. Frankly, I wouldn't bet against him.
- diggngolf, on 12/12/2007, -4/+4What a great idea, now websites can pay people to spam their site into Mahalo for pennies on the push and bury the "moderators" in piles of inter-poop and nothing actually gets accomplished yet again. I applaud you oh great marketing gods!
- Riemannian, on 12/12/2007, -1/+1Mahalo is such a frighteningly bad idea I pity whoever put up the venture money. Are we still in 1999 and Yahoo Directories?
- hadamin, on 12/12/2007, -1/+1isn't this essentially what digg is?
- inactive, on 12/12/2007, -1/+1Not at all. Mahalo raised $20M on the idea and are seeking another $20M in funding with a ridiculous $175M valuation on the company.
- dxk3355, on 12/12/2007, -1/+0Haha, i can't believe this crap site got put up here. Especially after Uncov's ripped on it so much

- wvdavis, on 12/12/2007, -5/+3Thank You.
- ecrcook, on 12/12/2007, -9/+5Wow - this is going to be really interesting.
- MikeonTV, on 12/12/2007, -7/+2Goodbye facebook, Hello Mahalo?
