DISQUS

I won't take umbrage with the views of Michael Grey and others, I happen to agree with a lot of what they have espoused.

But it should be pointed out that, in the black and white hypothesis they appear to be testing, they are stakeholders with a lot to lose should humans win the battle over algorithms :)

How would a SEO consultant optimize placement controlled by a set of human guides? Hire lobbyists?

And does that make Mahalo/ChaCha the Neo to Googles Mr. Smith?

Thanks for those interesting musings, Jeff. I fear that if DMOZ couldn't make it then Mahalo has even less of a chance, so we likely won't have to face the dilemmas you describe.
