i see a non-disclosed sum acquisition this year
- Allen Stern
Put in any blog, engadget, lifehacker, neowin. They all show similar tends... Maybe this is just the "old style" web loosing favour
- Chris Lloyd
Chris, many "old style" technology blogs are decreasing in traffic but this may be because manufacturers have stepped back from innovating anything exciting.
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Yeah, but it's not likely they're all going to fall off the face of the internet, so the decline seen at mahalo maybe in line with other websites, and not an exceptional "road to nowhere"
- Chris Lloyd
Also looking at quantcast, over the short term there seem very little decline, but over 4 months, it's very noticeable (even more so that at google)
- Chris Lloyd
Compete show significant decline too. Although since they are similar to other services it needs to be noted how their traffic levels are bearing up too
- Nicholas James
Wikipedia (by all accounts a similar service to Mahalo) also shows a decline, though I don't see the exact traffic numbers: http://trends.google.com/website... How did you get those to show up?
- Vincent van Wylick
While this trend is heading in the wrong direction, I have confidence in Jason Calacanis. Mahalo is an excellent tool and I think there is a need for it. I do think non-geeks need to become more aware of it though.
- TechListReport
I would argue that this is due to Twitter's (semi-accidental) success as a form of crowd-sourced search/discovery engine. Plus with a "Real-time" angle at that. Mahalo just never got a large enough user base to achieve escape velocity. On Twitter, people just started madly tweeting away, and THEN it turned out that in aggregate it worked like a discovery engine b/c people feel socially compelled to pass along mostly only good stuff to their followers.
- Alex Schleber
Quantcast is a little more accurate then that since it's tracked with a pixel (i.e. real traffic). We had record traffic in two of the last four months... not sure why it's not reflected in that trend line. Anyway, M2 launch on June 2nd will take Mahalo from 5m+ uniques a month to 10-15m I think... we've learned a LOT from the Mahalo Answers experience (i.e. virtual currency + knowledge community = big win).
- Jason Calacanis
Jason, looking forward to it. I am rooting for you guys.

What's really interesting is that Analytics and Quantcast show about 170-210k uniques a day (5.2 in last 30), and this graph shows like 50-75k. I guess this data is sampled or something? Anyway, Mahalo Answers broke 1m uniques in the past 30 days after about four months.... so, it's booming. That same performance is going to come to Mahalo Search when we launch M2 on June 2nd at the New York Tech Meetup..... where I will have only six minutes to demo my idea--just like everyone else!!! :-)

Jason, have you looked into an iPhone App like DuckDuckGo?

Strands has a lot of great sites. Strands Music is awesome, but weird in that I used to listen to it daily. Went back about a month ago and it didn't even have my login information.

Yet again another US-centric site :(
- Glenn Slaven
Can you link with your bank account?
- Didier Lahely
Didier, yes, it's very much like Mint
- Alan Cheslow
I been using it since from a month, to understand my spending pattern. It’s also possible to check current balances and receive text alerts after signing up here.

If I'm already an active mint.com user, is Money Strands worth my time setting up?
- Alan Le
I'm with edythe & alan. Is this a companion to mint, or should I think about jumping ship?
- Don Faulkner
I'm a sucker for almost any new webapp - I'll try it. Mint is terrible (incorrectly categorizes everything and does not learn from my corrections) and Quicken is very buggy.
- Chris Rogers
Chris, MoneyStrands is definitely way better than Mint.

"The rows of silver dials and tangle of scarlet wires look more like a telephone exchange. But this is the inside of the Turing Bombe, the part-electronic, part-mechanical code-breaking machine and forerunner of the modern computer, which cracked 3,000 messages a day sent on Nazi Enigma machines during the Second World War. There were 210 such bookcase-like Bombes that gave Britain advance warning of Hitler’s plans and shortened the conflict by two years. All were destroyed for security reasons on Churchill’s orders after the war. This is a replica, built by 60 volunteers, which was fired up last Tuesday. Code-breakers including former Wrens Ruth Bourne and Jean Valentine, pictured above, returned for a reunion at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, where they worked in top secret in blacked-out, cupboard-sized spaces."
- RAPatton
"The original Bombes, invented by brilliant mathematician Alan Turing, were made using reinforced brown Tufnol plastic moulded from sheets a tenth of an inch thick, a cast-iron framework and 12 miles of intricate wire circuits. At 61⁄2ft tall and running on no more power than a kettle, the Bombe could unravel 158 trillion possible combinations to unlock a seemingly random series of...

I can't agree more, I can't wait for more songs to be added too. Much more fun then monkey ball

And a great example of a 'cross over' app from a great 'jailbreak' developer, Nate True - it was known as Tap Tap Revolution on the jailbreak side and was one of the first and most popular jailbreak games ...
- Patrick Jordan
Tap Tap Revenge on the iPhone is addictive and my Sidekick-using friends are in love with it.. they wish they could switch over.
- Glenn Batuyong
Great game but it's a little bugged or maybe my iphone screen is. I have impeccable rhythm and it claims i'm missing a tap here and there. I can't get more than 98% on songs i know i'm playing perfectly. Driving me a little nuts.

Keep getting shriller and shriller, Noah. Fewer and fewer people are listening and caring.

Yeah, I doubt its fake. It's actually more XMA (Extreme Martial Arts) stuff than Parkour. Parkour is flowing through the scenery, not standing around doing stunts.

I've seen videos much crazier than this for years, all they had to do was get some of those guys to do the video. This might be fake, but I've seen home mades where they were doing this stuff.
