His blog article (I thought he retired from blogging...) mentions it gets 4M uniques a month, so people are obviously using it.



I've never seen a result in Google that led me to Mahalo. Who are these 4M???


A year ago it was quite common to see Mahalo show up in google searches. They're in decline.

Hate to bring up digg, but its in a positive light rather than my usual bitching. When we were around 4 million uniques we had 4 people (not actually employees, this was pre-series A), and Calacanis tried to buy us for $5 mill (almost all of it subject to earnouts). Rough subjective cash estimate of mahalo valuation based on his own offer to digg - half a mill.


It's been said a large number are paid content contributors, but really its 4 million... I can't really say.

I haven't see much press or online marketing from them either. But then again I live outside of the valley.
