I was able to get a look at My Mahalo before it's preview on Wednesday during Jason Calacanis's keynote at SES NY and I liked what I saw but I had many questions for Jason (while he conducted the interview) not all which he answered.
There was so much going on this week, I'm probably not going to be able to really sit down and digest, summarize many of the interviews I did - including the one with Jason Calacanis. Fortunately, being first is not necessarily the best thing - and much of the work of describing what Jason said and what My Mahalo is has been done by others - so I don't have to do that - I can spend some time over the weekend going over what I liked or didn't, and why.
However, I did want to put something out there, at least as a marker for which I'll later take a position about - and to sum up what's been said so far - Calacanis has done that with his post on My Mahalo preview at SES New York which he published earlier today.
I think there's an open question about how much of the Social Graph people really care to see; I have some thoughts about that.
One of the issues, questions that came up over and over is the scalability issue - can something like a human edited web really keep up with all the content that's constantly mushrooming up - it can't.
I think the approach taken in My Mahalo works, but not for everything - it works for niche subjects, and areas like medicine and natural remedies - areas of knowledge and expertise - but beyond that, I'm not sure.
I need to think about it and I'll have more to say later on this week.
