[...] It seems that Mahalo wants to be the first and last stop for everything Social. Through the expansion of MultiProfile they plan to hook all of those social networks such Facebook, MySpace, and twitter. It sounds like a good Idea to me. Let’s hope for Mahalo’s sake that the public catches on. Here’s the Story… [...]

I would have thought its pretty obvious what JC’s MO for Mahalo is – build it then flip it – for say $500M to one of the B-tier firms. Something about leopards and spots…

Allen – Instead of questioning Mahalo, shouldn’t you be comparing this to the latest version of Flock (an apparent advertiser on your site)? From an objective standpoint, it’s a natural step for Mahalo.

how is it different from bookmarking the sites on my machine? or having a website with tabs + iframes?

JoePopular.com is an excellent aggregator of all your social networks. I have looked at Mahalo on and off for awhile, and would rather call a reference librarian.

Well that networking aggregation I was actually looking for.

Need to access all your social networks in one browser window? I have a solution for this, It’s called “tabs” and it can be used ultra-simply by pressing “Ctrl+N” in your Firefox Browser. 100% free and ad-free!

Of course. They’re lying. Cha-Cha and some others were there before them.

Mahalo’s just a giant Adsense ploy… pay no attention to them. They’re just trying to harvest and rank high for certain keywords. Once they get banned from search engines, they’ll go away.

On Mahalo’s home page it says:

Mahalo is the world’s first human-powered search engine.

I’m no expert, but isn’t that demonstrably and obviously untrue?

bad search engine + boring content + podcast with a hot chick + vanessa hudgens nude = trainwreck

You could also use Mobile O/X – http://MobileOX.com – for profile aggregation … and get a pretty cool “Personalized Domain” to go with it.

where did I say that MLB only offers this service? I said other companies we’ve covered only offer this service. If you think that was targeted at MLB that’s your issue, not mine, and speaks volumes by itself.

I don’t like Mahalo’s frame implementation. I prefer Spokeo’s implementation and setup much better.

…and what does profile aggregation have to do with search…?

Totally confused. First, it’s a directory, masquerading as a search engine. Now, it’s a talk show (their video thing) and finally, it’s a social network aggregation tool.

Or…is it, “gee, the mainstream bloggers have been waxing philisophical about the concept of leveraging the disparate login anxiety among the myspace facebook bebo generation, if we synergize their accounts, we’ll get coverage!”

Duncan,

Good to see how accurate you guys are in covering other companies who ONLY offer aggregation.

MyLifeBrand has offered aggregation as a only a ‘feature’ NOT as their ONLY feature for a year now. The beauty of what MLB does is that it not only acts as your universal dashboard for all your networks, friends, content and services but it lets any company create a branded online community that provides access to those things to their members as well.

Now that is something useful.

Looks like another waste of time to me. I can see how it might have relevance to newbies (or the technically illiterate) but for me and my associates, I think not.

Just a dizzying array of Google Alerts and followed connections via twitter

And lets not forget who always seems to be “First!” on a lot of blog post I read! You!
