    Yakov, not sure what you mean. Buy the story, or buy that Mahalo is worth this much? I've since confirmed the story.

    I think wikipedia is more promising search engine than mahalo.

    Mahalo is a joke. Might be useful for people that are 100 yrs old and have no clue how to use the internet.

    I'd like to see the pages authored by the 50 people who show up every day, so many that they can't process them? Then I'd like to ask them why they work for Mahola for slave wage. Then I'd like to see the quality of their work. I'd love to see their guidelines for the 50 people every day, are they allowed to use Google to do their amazing pages that help people? I love Jason but this time he's gone to far.

    Jason Calacanis has taken drawing from my blog, removed (c) copyright from it, and placed on his server. As far as I am concerned he is a thief. The same is with Mahalo: it is just a link directory with content written by people with no authority. His company Mahalo Inc is worth nothing. Zero.

    How could it be worth that much?
    I think that it would be more interesting to readers if you digg more

    I agree with James, Mahalo is a wikipedia of seach engines.. if google cannot even reach 5% of the web imagine what Mahalo will accomplish...

    I think Mahalo created a new aspect for search engine and that's important, but there are other things that needs to be accomplished for search engines.

    I got to imagine that most of the page views come from people working at Mahalo because I don't know anyone that goes to that site and why would they.

    If you look at the Alexa data, you will find that the largest segment of their audience is for the content creators. 59% either go to their greenhouse or guides page.
