There is evidence that this is a growing market… check out all the competition out there… ListAfterList.com, OnMyList.com, TadaList.com, … even Amazon has jumped in with Unspun.com… being biased as to say there is no way it will make it is naive! What do you think ppl said when they first saw Facebook and MySpace?

Playing with Listphile: “A good citizen is…”…

Listphile just came out and seems very nicely done at first glance:
Listphile is a free website that enables anyone to create collaborative lists, atlases, databases and more. Lists can be broad and ambitious (like a List of All Baseball Players Who Pl…

WRT Mahalo… Duncan, Mahalo’s been a giant failure so far. Look at their numbers! They’re basically a DMOZ v2. It’s crazy to think that people would prefer a small number of searches to the whole web. Google has done an amazing job at perfecting search results and to think that we’d go back to the old days of some guy going over billions of pages manually?! Ridiculous.

Here’s a good reason why Mahalo is a bad idea: top searches CHANGE all the time and Mahalo can’t keep up!

Be nice if you could change the map. i’m in cz and mapy.cz is so much better than google maps, or at least if you could maximise the view of it or right click to add an entry. Also, if you could add pictures from external sites (flickr etc) that would be better. Agree with David that it’s very open to just being filled with spam nonsense, but I guess you can say that about most ‘user generated content’ sites to some degree.

Most of the maps, search and other functionalities are blocked by our company firewall as “Proxy Avoidance”.. Bad coding

Fake:

Freebase: has real technology behind it (proprietary graph storage),
apppeals to geeks, its something you shouldnt do in any other sense of the term

Listphile: has Ruby on Rails behind it. targeted to Yelp crowd – not Wikipedia editors, not Geeks.. the name.. doesnt roll off your tongue or stick with you though

hope that sums it up

@Duncan – I don’t see how Mahalo is innovative. A hand built search engine doesn’t appeal to me, and I have already found spam-ish links in the service. At least Mahalo is creating content and not just another copy cat platform like most of the companies out there.

This sounds to me to be similar to what Freebase was supposed to offer – the concept of wiki and database combined.

Has anyone here compared the two?

I’m yet to find a convincing argument that Mahalo isn’t a good idea; what I do see is a lot of people saying they don’t like it without looking at the broader consumer (non-tech) appeal of the product

I’m not so sure that comparing something to Mahalo gives it a lot of street cred. Not so sure that you could call Mahalo successful

The information can only improve once they have more user input I think. Without that well, it will just another good idea.

as I noted in the post I was skeptical at first, but it’s a usable page that feels a cut above some a lot of the other stuff we see regularly. Again, not one for tech folk, it’s a Mahalo space play.

>>A startup to watch.

Watch it fail? Come on, this has to be one of the silliest ideas for a startup ever. This is a feature that almost nobody needs and anyone with basic coding skills can whip out in a day.

Web2.0 is now like a giant Monty Python sketch.
