Why do we get articles about how much Mahalo.com sucks every day here at Hacker News? Why don't we just ignore them? I'm serious, I don't care about Mahalo, I barely even know what it is. Why do people keep posting stories about it? Is it just some weird kind of reverse-psychology marketing or something?
- nostromo 16y agoI think there's a lot of schadenfreude when it comes to Calacanis' more recent tribulations (starting with his Digg clone on Netscape). This is especially true in New York where he's known as a grade-A douche bag (even by New York standards -- and that's saying something).
- hackernews 16y agoI think for the most part Mahalo represents the growing problem with Google and aggravating anyone doing SEO work. To many searches on Google turn up a first page full of optimized pages focusing on advertising rather than the content. Sites like Mahalo make it very difficult for the little guy to optimize and get value from Google. Kinda like trying to get anything on the Digg home page.
