This is truly retarded. If Calacanis likes hired editors so much he should go back to blogs or old media, he doesn't seem to get the whole UGC thing. A team of 40 doesn't exactly scale well. Its unbelievable that Sequoia hired him and now is putting up millions just to get into a warmed over Yahoo directory.

Anything supported by Jason Calcanis is bound to be a bad idea.

I don't think Mahalo is comparable to ChaCha. ChaCha tries to answer your questions in real time and does not answer your questions with single pages like this. At least yet..

Mahalo sounds exactly like Bessed.

Sorry but this makes no sense. All they built was a directory like dmoz and threw some flowers on it and not to mention it's only for 10,00 keyword searches.
