Mahalo Sets Out To Liveblog The World

When Mahalo launched about 16 months ago, we called it a human-powered search engine and began thinking of it as a Google competitor. But it's so-called "guide pages" for topics as diverse as the Boston Marathon and Patriotic Drunk Rednecks provide not only links but quick facts, making Mahalo an editor-driven, Wikipedia competitor as well. And with a new site-wide design launching today, Mahalo sharpens its focus on the news cycle and competes more directly with sites like CNN and a multitude of news aggregators.
