Mahalo.com is a human powered search application; as opposed to Google’s computer algorithm search method. In this example, I use (1) Mahalo Follow to recommend a link. The link gets posted to del.icio.us, Twitter, and ma.gnolia automatically. The link is also indexed in my (2) Mahalo Social page, which I can further recommend to other friends. Then I do a (3) Mahalo Search to simulate the search term I recorded in step 1. It’s a simple process. Mahalo’s growth depends on the number of people iterating the process.

[1] Install the Mahalo Follow

[1.1] Select a web page to recommend

[1.2] Recommend the page by clicking on “Yes” in Mahalo toolbar. Encode search term, tags, notes, and share links to del.icio.us, Ma.gnolia, and Twitter.

[2] Recommended link will be displayed in your Mahalo Social page, where you can view your recommended links and your friends’ recommended links.

[3] You can view the recommended link by doing Mahalo Search
