Nothing else would move the needle for those guys. You make an interesting point at the end though - until I read your post I would have thought that the top 10,000 searches was more than 25% of searches. Jason will need more coverage than that if he is to convince people to make Mahalo their first port of call. Alan – with Sequoia investing I guess they are going for scale, not an early exit.

I wanted to see him for a long time. I've started following Jason when he started the discussion about menitzing Wikipedia (to make it more secure). Mahalo is People inside ! The huge difference with wikipedia is that you deal with stock. No one can alterate something already done. <i>And I am happy to see they add 500 items a day (that's U-lik current number ;-)).</i> Have you talked to him personnaly ?? Lucky You !

The answer so far is that they will use human editors, and use the Mahalo Greenhouse idea to build a huge network of people to help. A key point is that they are not trying to index the whole web. I suspect they will ignore any site that looks for half a second like it might be spam, and they will lose some decent sites that way. Time will tell whether they can make the balance work in a way that is compelling for the likes of you and me. It is a bit different to Wikipedia because you can only edit their index if you are on their payroll. That Alan, as you imply, is the million dollar question.
