A Day in Paradise

I think twitter has stolen my ability to create a post title without telling the whole story, but I’ve been banging around Mahalo for a few minutes and I wanted to do a quick post on how far the site has come.

When I did my first gander through Mahalo, I was put off and quickly wrote it off as yet-another-mediawiki-based-seo-focused-keyword-sink. There wasn’t much that I could find there that wasn’t within the reach of a couple google queries.

Skip ahead a year (and change) and it looks like they have either dumped mediawiki, or successfully disguised it to create a platform that fosters amazing interaction with its users. I did a quick search, and before I knew it I had already claimed a page and was on my way to becoming a Mahalo heditor.

I’m still not sure about its future as a full blown search engine – but something is certainly going on here!
