This video below is a shameless plug for another company I work for on the intrawebs. It's called Mahalo.com and it's the brain child of it's founder web guru Jason Calacanis. The idea is quite simple, it's like Google except the search results are provided by humans, rather then algorithms. For example, if you search for Scientist David Attenborough the search result you find was created by myself, basically I spent a day searching Google for the best websites about Attenborough then created a page displaying them. The result is a search page with no spam and quality links.

I feel comfortable posting this shameless plug because I opt out of receiving a paycheck with Mahalo, instead I forward the money I earn to the Wikimedia Foundation. The internet has given me so much, it's only right to give back a little. So head on over and do some test searches (it's still in alpha beta) and let me know what you think.
