Think Digg combined with Google. Ok, that is pretty great but exaggerated. Mahalo, a search engine that claims to be highly relevant and is human powered has added a new social network feature that lets users submit links to the engine and if they meet the quality standards of the site, they get lists and the users gets credit by having his name listed at the bottom of the search result.
Now, I thought that social bookmarking sites were already doing this. And that too on a highly intuitive manner as indicated in this article on the algorithm that powers Digg.
Mahalo is playing catch-up here. Already the industry has an opinion that social sites may pave the way for relevant search results.
