Dear Jason, Skype is big news.

Dear Jason Calacanis ,
I read Allen Stern’s criticism of Mahalo, your new “search engine” that is going to put Google out of business. Evidently, he thinks the fact Mahalo couldn’t catch the news that Skype went down yesterday is a flaw.

Skype : #1 search at technoratiEvidently, you, Jason, think Skype isn’t big news.

Bless your heart, Jason, but Skype is big news. Or at least, it was big news to the many who searched for information yesterday. They couldn’t find that information about the outage on Mahalo.

Luckily, they could find the news they sought on Google and Technorati.

Finding the information you want: that’s what people use search engines for. If Mahalo doesn’t find them, Mahalo is irrelevant.

P.S. I’m glad to see you thought to add the Skype stub after Allen out Mahalo’s lapse.

    Don’t I know it! I put a note about Skype on my humble blog just to let my friends know how to contact me, and it bought me an accidental Technoratilanche. I got over 500 hits in the hour it took for my blog to drift off the first page of search results.

    Behold, the power of the topical.
