Socializing Search with Human Powered Search Engine, Mahalo

First, the background. Mahalo is a human-powered search engine launched sometime last year. If you’re not so into search engine technology, “human powered” simply means that unlike traditional search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Live Search, Mahalo creates organized, comprehensive, and spam free search results for the most popular search terms. With the word “human” appended to its description, it is but no wonder that Mahalo is gradually evolving from a simple search engine, into a collaborative tool where members can work together in building up a great resource for quality links.
