Mahalo’s Not Working

by Piers Fawkes

A while ago, web-entrepreneur Jason Calacanis launched a new human powered Search Engine that would only concentrate on providing edited results for the top 20,000 search terms. The big problem with that idea is that it’s only really helpful for 20,000 search terms - and you don’t know whether your query is one of them.

So why would you use a search engine that you’re not confident will find what you’re looking for?

Top 10 PSFK Search Terms that aren’t in Mahalo:

Stella Artois
Creative Workspaces New York
Eco-Diapers
Bulldogs
Trends
Help

ok… we got bored of the site after 6 queries (they do have monkeys though!)…
