…Mahalo Social is getting 100 new members a day and 300 submissions a day. The social networking will grow to 500-1,000 new accounts a day in Q2, and 5,000 links/day suggested…

The social aspect of this has been fascinating. Our last major push was Mahalo Social, and the response has been amazing. It seems like our take on social search is filling a void, and people are rushing to submit their links.

I’ve started to use my Mahalo profile as the place to keep most of my bookmarks. Instead of just sitting there in a list, they get recommended to common search terms and pages. A few have already been accepted, though my acceptance rate is not nearly has high as some. It’s possible for me syndicate my links, as well as my friends links: I’m showing them off in my sidebar.

More coolness to come. Stay tuned.
