[...] “It’s an interesting business model, and from what we’ve seen can be very addicting. There’s certainly a potential for people to become semi-professional “answerers,” who are constantly trolling the site for new questions that offer tips.” Chris Synder, ABC News http://abcnews....4889&page=1 “As I’ve said before, it’s just as important for companies to experiment with business models as it is to try new technology and features, and that’s what Mahalo is doing here. This Q&A product may not work, financially, as it is crafted today. Or it may. Regardless, it is good for companies experimenting with revenue-generating ideas. And this one is pretty clever.” Rafe Needleman – CNET News http://news.cne...10122762-2.html “A $5 tip for the best explanation of vigorish” John Murrell, Good Morning Silicon Valley http://blogs.si...f-vigorish.html “If Yahoo just isn’t cutting it for you, or you’re looking for a semi-serious answer to a question you’re willing to spend a few on, Mahalo Answers might be the place to sound off.” Kevin Purdy, Lifehacker http://www.life..._answers-2.html “Jason Calacanis is betting that your knowledge is worth at least a few bucks. He is hoping that the collective knowledge of the Internet will fuel Mahalo Answers, the latest extension of his human-powered search engine Mahalo.” Jenna Wortham, NY Times, Bits Blog http://bits.blo...your-expertise/ “Considering Mahalo is a search engine that also gets much of its traffic from Google, it’s not hard to imagine at least a small percentage of those visitors paying a few dollars for the convenience of getting the answer they’re looking for.” Adam Ostrow, Mashable http://mashable...mahalo-answers/ “One’s Intelligence Rewarded By the Mahalo Service” Irene Collins, eFluxMedia http://www.eflu...vice_31401.html “Mahalo, the human-powered search engine, introduced Mahalo Answers today, a new service that allows its community to ask and answer questions, and reward users for the quality of their responses. Mahalo Answers is both a direct challenger to Yahoo’s dominance in this market and a new spin on the narrow Answers paradigm that could actually be sustainable.” David Chartier, Ars Technica http://arstechn...-hard-cash.html “Q: What Do You Get When You Add Karate Belts To a Q&A Service? Mahalo Answers.” “Mahalo is essentially paying for traffic here, or rather getting its users to pay for traffic. The prospect of making tips from other users will be the main draw for many visitors. The question is: Will that be enough to jumpstart more organic growth by improving upon the Q&A format and seeding the site with some really good answers? Or does Yahoo Answers with its 154 million monthly unique visitors worldwide (comScore) have too much momentum to ever be challenged?” Erick Schonfeld, Tech Crunch http://www.tech...-qa-service-mah...
