Everything You Know Is Wrong
I was walking to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams when I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension, and soon I was abducted by some aliens from space who kinda looked like Jamie Farr. They sucked out my internal organs and they took some Polaroids and said I was a darn good sport, and as…

Mahalo huge in Hawaii
My wife and I spent a week on the big island of Hawaii last month, and I have to say that I was floored by how popular Mahalo is out there! As soon as we landed in Hawaii (and even on the flight from Newark), I couldn’t go more than a few minutes without overhearing…

Sprites and the new Mahalo homepage
On Friday, we at Mahalo launched a revamped homepage and site-wide redesign, the result of months of technical and editorial development. I’d like to talk specifically about one new technical aspect of the homepage. The old Mahalo homepage had, at any given moment, between 8 and 10 content images. (By “content images,” I’m referring to…

Does Mahalo crash your Firefox?
We at Mahalo have had quite a few reports of Firefox 3 crashing when visiting Mahalo.com. (Here’s a video of it happening.) We’d love to get this fixed, but we are unable to duplicate the problem on our own machines. If this happens to you, here is some information that you could send us to…

WTB: Los Angeles Systems Engineer
Mahalo is growing, and although Dan is some sort of wizard, he has to start getting more than 20 minutes of sleep per night. We’re looking for another Los Angeles Based Systems Engineer to complement (and compliment!) him: “You should be expert in massively scalable architectures, how MySQL and Linux interact, how MySQL and memcache…

Mahalo Share Goes to 11
One of the latest things I’ve been working on at Mahalo is Mahalo Share. It’s a utility that automatically posts links that you want to share to 11 different services: del.icio.us, Facebook, Twitter, Jaiku, your Tumblr blog, Ma.gnolia, Faves, Pownce, Mahalo, StumbleUpon, and/or Google Bookmarks. All of this cross-posting is done behind the scenes using…

Mahalo Follow 3.0

Just add your account info (process shown below), and after recommending a link for a Mahalo search term, your link…

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Some of may already know this, but I am no longer with Netscape (voluntarily, no hard feelings there). I felt that it was the right time to move on to something else, and in late November, I did so. I’m now working for Mahalo, mainly on Mahalo Follow/Social. If you’re up for it, you can…

Follow includes two components: (1) a Mahalo toolbar (with the requisite links and search box) that also sports a dropdown of the Mahalo directory and buttons that let you say whether…
