Mahalo

As Mahalo proves, when you add the humanity back into technology, some great things can happen. The results from this new search engine have been compiled by a real person, not a computer program. What the site aims to do is remove the spam, as well as the inaccurate and repetitive results that other engines may provide. It succeeds, but for now Mahalo provides results for only the top 10,000 national search terms. So while Paris Hilton and stem-cell research will be covered, don’t expect local businesses or the cast of Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper to be anywhere in sight. It’s convenient for someone without the skills or time to get into an in-depth search, but anyone who is comfortable with Google probably should just stay there until Mahalo expands its coverage. Also: Sorry, Mahalo is porn-free.
