The folks at Mahalo are giving out free beach towels (but not tickets to Hawaii to use them at) to those spreading the word about this human search engine. If you’re looking for a more accurate hit to your search queries, I’d suggest Mahalo, then. It is a site that has drawn me in with its great results. Using humans, not computers, to find your stuff, Mahalo brings you closer to an AI solution we keep hearing about. I appreciate its quick links and side bar information panel on the searched item. The Guides Choice (hang loose icon) as well as the Warning icon help narrow down the best sites and the ones to avoid for further research. Give it a try and say, “Mahalo” to Jason when you do.
