Wired has a scoop on Jason Calacanis's new service, a "people-powered search engine" named Mahalo, which they say is launching this week at an insider's conference.
Glad to hear someone is innovating in search. I bet it's cool.
Not sure I like that the insiders will see it before I will. :-(
PS: The site is live now. I signed up, logged in and started looking around. There's a page on me (of course that's the first thing I looked for), and what little it contains is accurate. I like that they identify the person who edited the page (someone named ck).
PPS: Looks like Yahoo?

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
