Two weeks ago, Jason Calacanis and I were watching the Sopranos and twittering... he then directed me to a live chat on his brain child... Mahalo. I am addicted to yet another platform that allows me to converse with "friends" across the world and gets me search results that are more than relevant.
Mahalo (Hawaiian for “thank you”), is a search service with manually edited results. It started with several advantages: venture capital backing, 30 editors, systematic focus on the most commonly requested search terms, and the added idea of supplying Google’s search results for any search not covered by its own best-of-the-best lists.
Mahalo now has pre-prepared pages for 5,000 terms related to entertainment, travel, health, technology and other subject areas. The company plans to expand its coverage to 10,000 terms by year-end, and eventually to provide results for one-third of the most common search terms.
The company is financed by Sequoia Capital, which knows something about the search business: It was an early backer of both Yahoo and Google.
Get rolling on Mahalo today!
