Widget Watch: Mahalo

Yay! We're on TUAW! :) This is the first Mac "application" and so simple... Watch closely for more good stuff to come.

"I should point out, however, that Mahalo has nothing to do with Weblogs, Inc or AOL (our loving corporate Over Lords)."

It may not be directly related, but he's the co-founder of Weblogs Inc so there may be some bias (maybe he's biased without even realising it. I'm not saying I disagree with TUAW being first - I do visit the site at least 4 or 5 times a day - I just wanted to know how exactly they determine stuff like that.

I am not involved with the Mahalo project, so I can't really speak to your concerns. I should point out, however, that Mahalo has nothing to do with Weblogs, Inc or AOL (our loving corporate Over Lords).

As for keeping it up to date, they have a large team of people making sure stuff is up to date.

You might want to read this review before using up any of your precious widget consciousness:

Language is a little raw, but review is funny and as the link indicates, devastating. Jason Calacanis takes the review on in the comments. He makes some good points and I'm willing to take a second look.

I had never heard of this project until now. My question is: how can they be sure that there is no bias in the results (I noticed TUAW was top on the blog list under "Apple" - how did they determine the order?) and how can they ensure it is up-to-date?
