Very cool! - Kol Tregaskes

Clever! - Fossil Huntress

:-) - Kol Tregaskes

could use a little of this in L.A. right now. - Thomas Hawk

If I could pass ours over to you I would. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Kol, this is so cool! - Michael Fidler

:-) - Kol Tregaskes

I miss the sound though, but me like ;) - Tibor Holoda

Tibor, could have attached an MP3 too. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

We're getting a lot of this in the UK. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

cool - echostreamer

Would make a neat desktop wallpaper - Nick Humphries

interesting - what made you look that up out curiosity? And do you think its just a dip or genuinely road to nowhere? - Zee.

@Zee I was curious. Wanted to see how they are faring. - Steve Rubel

directly measured traffic is here http://www.quantcast.com/mahalo... - sean percival

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

I used the site once or twice, but it never stuck. - Blagica S. Bottigliero

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. - Steve Rubel from IM

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 Calacanis

had no idea it even existed - Zee.

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. - Anika

Yet again another US-centric site :( - Glenn Slaven

Didier, yes, it's very much like Mint - Alan Cheslow

better than Mint? - edythe

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. - Monica

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

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

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

I think this should be the picture of Obama in all public buildings. - iTad

http://simonstudiotheatre.blogspot.com/2008... OBAMA is a SCAM and a NAZI liar... he met with Palestine and said he would divide Jerusalem. don't be fools! - NoahDavidSimon

@Noah, why does the average American care if Jerusalem is divided? - Jeff P. Henderson

http://friendfeed.com/e... a lie is a lie... campaign finance however effects everyone. ...so does Obama's mutating tax plan http://del.icio.us/simonst... ...so does a scandal that turned out to be a lie. Palin is innocent of your so called "TrooperGate" ...OBAMA is spending 4 years in serious litigation if elected - NoahDavidSimon

That's a great ad. Makes me want to play some football! - Anika

Some of it looked pretty Shaolin Soccer-ish. - Andrew Leyden

Now I want to watch Shaolin Soccer... heh - Michael W. May

That looks a little doctored, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was real. People can do amazing things with a soccer ball - Pras Sarkar

but pretty effin' cool :) - Paulo Elias from twhirl

Shaolin Soccer! LOVED that movie. - Anika

really? shaolin soccer was good??? - Zee.

I loved that film - Michael W. May

dude that's so awesome :O - Jay

And that is what happens when you combine XMA with football. - xero

I just fired my personal trainer. - Derrick

sooo fake. Pretty cool though. - Alejandro

I don't think it's fake ... I think it took them a lot of takes, though. - Brandon

All of the best "parcours" comes from France donchaknow? - Vicky

I think it's real. Like someone else said, these are just variants of parkour tricks. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

No. Way. - Shey

parkour footballers! cool! - Anna Lynn M.

Can't speak for the rest, but the "long pass" stuff is very do-able if you've got good enough aim, timing and feet. - Jennifer Dittrich

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. - xero

Loved the acrobatics! - Mitchell Tsai

It's for a computer game, created by EA, of course it's fake. ;-) But great nevertheless. - Kol Tregaskes

fake and awesome - cjmart

embed excel on blogs! - Sarah Perez

Looks pretty nice. - Otto R. Radke

I love Excel, work in it almost all day. What an exciting life I lead, eh? ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Sarah, geeky question: how did you great the effect for the rent column? - Kol Tregaskes

conditional formatting and data bars? wow. Is there collaboration features? - Jamie

@Kol - I didn't do it, just a screenshot. :) but prob was done with conditional formatting. (tutorial: http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/excel20...) - Sarah Perez

Ah I know all about conditional formatting, just noticed its Excel 2007, can't be done on older versions. :-( Thanks, Sarah! - Kol Tregaskes
