Mahalo, A Human Powered Search Directory

Friday October 24, 2008
Need to find something quickly on the web? You might want to try Mahalo, a human powered search directory. Here's how Mahalo works: you enter in a query, and you get a variety of results from video to direct answers to Fast Facts (a quick compilation of the most pertinent information for that query).

Sounds pretty ordinary, right? Well, here's the kicker: all your Mahalo results are quite nicely arranged on one convenient page. This is what makes Mahalo so addictive, because the Mahalo editors do a fantastic job of compiling the most relevant results, and you as the searcher get to reap the benefits of this whole process. Want to find out more? Read my article titled Mahalo, a Human Powered Search Directory.
