WOW.
Woke up this morning, looked at the blog, saw lots of traffic overnight and an amazing comment from Mike at Mahalo;
Hello Jenny
Michael from the Mahalo news team here.
Thanks for your encouraging words about Mahalo’s reference pages. I’m thrilled you find them useful. We think they’re a great resource for students too.
We’ve expanded the pages you mention:
http://www.mahalo.com/Rwandan_Genocide
http://www.mahalo.com/Aung_San_Suu_KyiWe also have a page on the Hutu and Tutsi:
http://www.mahalo.com/Hutu_and_Tutsi
Also, we’ll make Romeo Dallaire, Juvenal Habyarimana and Paul Kagame tomorrow.
I’d love to correspond in more detail about Mahalo’s catalog of search terms and how they can help teachers.
In fact, if you want Mahalo to start building resources on famous Australians, (or groups etc) just contact me with a list.
Mahalo!

Mahalo.comPS. We’re building ANZAC Day…right now
How impressive is that!
Never one to shy away from an invitation, I got to work and talked with my staff about Australian topics that would be likely search terms for Mahalo to create pages for. Sent a thank you email off with the extensive list of topics and received a reply not long after. Mahalo are onto it and will be putting pages together soon. I’ll be checking to see the progress. Just looked up Anzac Day and a page exists – it’s called a stub as it needs further fleshing out, but I’m suitably impressed. Keep this up and I’ll be forming my own Mahalo cult!
Never knew service like this could be available in today’s world. Brilliant effort.
I’m starting to become a Mahalo fan too and have found it very useful in gathering info for an upcoming trip to Italy. The company is definitely run with that fire-in-the-belly startup mentality (with a strong focus on their users) – and they’re after a serious chunk of the search market.
