So, who’s bought a Mahalo editor already?
I just can’t freakin’ WAIT to see what results Mahalo (the latest iteration of the “of course humans can adequately describe the WWW” meme) finally returns for “viagra“. You can’t tell me that viagra (or some similar pharm type term) doesn’t appear in the top 10,000 searched terms.
With all the hype that’s sure to surround a Jason Calacanis project, in all it’s magnificent effulgence, it’s gotta be worth sneaking a link or two in there… look what kind of crap they already have in there 
I’ve seen a suggestion that’s it’s a build-for-sale play, and barring a revolution in human nature, I think that’s spot on. I bet there’s a queue of private equity groups forming already…
Currently it is a steaming pile of crap.
Take this search for example: http://www.mahalo.com/Special:Search?search=new+cars&go=Search
It shows me Related Searches, Sponsored Results, and then Google Search results. You give me one programmer and 1/2 a day and we can whip this site up. No VC money needed.
