Jason Calacanis Launches Mahalo Answers
Jason Calacanis has launched Mahalo’s answer to the various ‘answers’ facilities around the web, including the famous LinkedIn Answers.
Jason gives a reason for the creation of Mahalo Answers
For the past couple of years, I’ve been studying the intersection of individuals and three Internet services: search, content and knowledge exchanges (aka KEs). These three products–or processes–serve individuals by helping them solve their real-world problems, and all three services have been booming over the years.For the past couple of years, I’ve been studying the intersection of individuals and three Internet services: search, content and knowledge exchanges (aka KEs).

And here’s Jason’s explanation of what Mahalo Answers is:
Mahalo Answers is a Knowledge exchange where you can post questions which are answered by other users. Optionally, but highly encouraged, you can offer a tip for the best answer given for your question. Tips are given in our virtual currency, called Mahalo Dollars, which are purchased at a one-to-one rate with U.S. dollars, and which can be removed from the system less a 25% fee (i.e. how we make money!).
