Now they’re asking for “Part Time Guides” to write result pages now… $10 for your time, information professional?

I sheepishly admit that I didn’t know about the Librarians Internet Index when I wrote this post. Ah well, chalk it up to being new to the field.

isn’t “sites of unknown origin” a blue oyster cult album?

Oops! They haven’t yet hand-written a page for instructional design or for technical writing. They HAVE hand written a page for Wine, but the results are not impressive.
There is no way that Mahalo can compete with the Google behemoth. And no way they can “hand write” the entire web (even just the parts they approve of). I don’t think Mahalo is long for this world.
On the up side, it’s an aesthetically pleasing site.

Pardon me for copy-and-pasting, but here’s what I added to del.icio.us: “Jason Calacanis launches his new startup, Yahoo. I mean About.com. Sorry, that’s Squidoo. My bad, Wikipedia.”

This is my fav part: Oops! We haven’t hand-written a result page for “justin watt” yet. “Hand-written”? How quaint. I wonder how long I’ll be waiting for that.

Google on the other hand: Personalized Results 1 – 10 of about 21,300 for “justin watt” Nice.

iiinteresting.
