"How exactly do you see Mahalo being in big trouble do you think? From where we sit it’s well ahead of plan and I’m feeling really pumped with: a) 4.4-4.6m uniques a month b) four years of capital c) an amazing team of people d) huge biz dev/advertising partnerships in the works It seems that by any practical measure we are doing great. Wait until you see what we drop in December at Le Web! Exclusive Background: I’ve actually put *more* time into my email newsletter than my blog, so the theory that I need to spend more time on Mahalo is not exactly accurate in terms of the facts. The truth is, the email newsletter (and my blog) have done much more for my startups than almost any business decision I’ve made. The marketing, attention, and ideas that are generated because of my blog, emails, TechCrunch50, and the never ending world-trou of speaking gigs Tyler arranges are, frankly, huge for our business. The amazing thing about being on the supposed “a-list” is that any feature or product..." - Jason Calacanis

very interesting - Paul Buchheit

very cool social search evolution, but like sellers on eBay over time you will severely disadvantage new sites with no rating - George Lee via twhirl

Those kind of ratings are often open to abuse and misuse - Sally Church

Intrigued by the option of saving my own comments. Anyone know how many characters fit in those comment boxes? - Noah Sussman

Google must have a solution to control abuse - Seth Garrison

I agree with Sally. This looks like it's making it too easy to abuse the search results. From the video I noticed that there were comments from "Unknown" users. If it's THAT open to editing, it's definitely going to be a spam-magnet. Let's wait and see... - Ricardo Vidal

over time an interface like this would really disrupt SEO efforts. - AJ Kohn

Reminds me of Friendfeed. - Jason Wehmhoener

This has so much potential. Sure it could disrupt SEO efforts, but that's a good thing. - Chris

Having comments must mean that other people can view them.. Anybody see conversations moving to another place? - Varun "Maverick" Pitale

Google wants to be everywere in the web and have everything. - Christian Van Der Henst via twhirl

It will be interesting to see how reliable these signals are. I know in the early days when the smiley face and frown face were available in the toolbar, there was some debate about whether those ended up having an inverse reliability. Meaning, spammy sites were being voted up by the spammers themselves. - Christopher Sacca

I liked it the first time they called it Digg - adolfo foronda

i don't understand the logic of allowing people to vote items down, on DIGG or anywhere else. it just allows for gaming the system. if you only allow voting up, it's much harder to badly manipulate results - Alensa via twhirl

everything that would add humane inteli. to the search results refinements (and therefor reduce SEO manipulations to minimum) will be great. - Naor

Instead of SEO manipulations we'll see marketing manipulations. - HollowMarkeD

Provided that spamming/gaming can be combatted this is a great idea. Think Mahalo with the restrictions: human search filtering but with all the rest of the results available as well. Not just an arbitrary selection based on limited opinion but a socially filtered list. It has big potential. - Colin Walker via fftogo

I've been wondering how Google would approach social search, and it looks very interesting indeed - all the features I would expect seem to be in place...totally agree with all other comments re: gaming though! - Iain Baker

It looks useful and is a decent progression for search - jon

not happy about this.... a search engine should not be a democracy - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ

I can't imagine this fully rolled out. Too much invested already in 'quality' returns - Charlie Anzman

err, this is just like Wikia search - from the founder of Wikipedia - http://re.search.wikia.com/ - Sherif Mansour

this works at a twitter or ff scale, but can it scale to Google search scale? Google already uses a popularity based system, this is just adding another popularity metric. - Brad Collins via twhirl

Those who are afraid of the socialization of Google aren't seeing the big picture. I programmed voting systems for a newspaper's website and discovered how easy it is using cookies and IP addresses to filter out abuse, or at least make it statistically insignificant. Just because you can vote something up or down for yourself doesn't mean the system has to factor that in for everyone, it's up to Google to know what to do with each vote. It's not "democratic", it's statistical. - Ignace Rodriguez

I've thought about this and theorize that Google will have this as an option, but not the default. However, the data from the social search will be part of the default algorithm. That's my guess. - AJ Kohn

Is it wrong that we don't have any real network diagrams? I showed some of mine from a previous job, and people were astonished. I like good diagrams, especially if I'm new. - ha3rvey
