As some folks know, since April I’ve been doing full-time on-site contract work with a start-up in Santa Monica, California. We went live with our Alpha minutes ago, so I can now lift the cone of silence!
At Mahalo, I’m part of a team helping build the best human-powered search engine. 100% spam-free, with highly focused search results pages on, initially in Alpha, 4,000 topics. Our goal is to create pages for the top 10,000 searches when we leave beta in a year or so.
You may have heard inklings of this (or flat-out leaks) if you’re tech savvy. I gotta say I’m really proud to be part of it all. It’s a whole new scene for me, and the vibe here is right up my alley: lots of group involvement, transparency, and a dedication to creating something that gives back to the community in a way that is different and better than anything that’s come before.
Check it out, and let me know what you think!
