Widget Watch: Mahalo



Today's widget is a simple one that lets you search Mahalo from your Dashboard. Mahalo, in case you don't know, is the new 'human powered search engine' from Weblogs, Inc co-founder Jason Calacanis (there is also another familiar TUAW face involved with Mahalo). Think of it as Google and Wikipedia's love child. A team of guides hand creates search result (they have already created 4000 out of the top 10,000 searches by hand) to give context to your search. The Mahalo search results also include results from Google, for all you traditionalists about there.

Take a look at the Mahalo widget from Coding Robots and check out a few search results from Mahalo (may I suggest Steve Jobs and the iPhone?).

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
