Jason Calacanis: Why Shouldn’t I Spam Google? It’s Awesome
Most of you know Jason Calacanis, Founder and the Ceo of Mahalo Inc. Also the founder of Weblogs Inc. (one of the most popular blogs network). He sold Weblogs Inc for 25 million dollars to AOL. We were expecting another blog network from him but he didn’t do this. He created Mahalo, The Human Powered Search Engine instead. For instance, when you search for Brad Pitt, you see a page full of brad pitt related links. Unfortunately that’s all. As you know Google is not clear enough. Google fails at simplicity. Mahalo brings us a page similar to Google’s “first results page”. Mahalo is all we need. Also Mahalo doesn’t like robots.txt. If Mahalo was mine, whole site would be disabled for search engines with “robots.txt”. But Mahalo’s Search Results also indexed to other search engines as well.
Jason Calacanis is a clever guy. But people were expecting more from him.
BONUS: He created an “answers section” to spam Google more. As you know Yahoo Answers is not enough 🙂 Y! Answers has 123m indexed pages at Google. But Jason knows that always there is a place for a newcomer.
Happy New Year Jason! Be less evil at 2009…

I love Yahoo Answers. It’s the best. Better than that new Wikianswers page.
