I’m a big fan of this new search engine, Mahalo, which beats the heck out of Google when it comes to actually relevant results. A recent New York Times article on Mahalo is sure to generate some business there way, too:
All of the links listed in Mahalo send the user to Web pages that contain genuine content, not sales pitches in disguise. By using its own editors as the final arbiters of what goes in, Mahalo cuts off access in its listings to Web sites that confuse a search engine’s algorithm with advertorials that commingle advertisements with noncommercial information. To those in the trade, outsmarting the algorithm is called “search engine optimization.†For the rest of us, it produces Web pages littered with spam.

Ah, google as it used to be. How long before Mahalo becomes what google is now? Probalby half the time it took google ot get there.
This Mahalo looks interesting. As its index grows, it could start replacing Wikipedia as my starting point (i.e. bucket-o-links and/or basic definition) when I'm trying to find info on a given subject.
