So SEO Public Enemy #1 launched his future failure today: Mahalo. A cross between Wikipedia and DMOZ, except they have to pay their editors. Sweet! (Where is the sarcasm smiley?)
My question is: why bother spamming it, when it won’t gain enough users to send any real traffic?
Nevertheless, whoever writes the first ‘How to: Spam Maholo’ gets a link from this post, just trackback me.
Update: I think this IM exchange sums it up nicely:
Me: It’s seriously just About.com
AaronWall: But worse.

Totally guessing, but maybe because andy is a whore and would like to rank for it…
Sugarrae — Obviously you’ve spent some quality time with the h8r!
I think #1’s prediction is likely. As fast as a Digg user on the Netscape payroll…
Jason actually responded to my post (linking to yours and others) if you’re interested. He also got a little SEO bashing in there too
