It seems like there's a personal aspect of this that's obscuring the nominal question of whether Mahalo is spam.

Spam is something that adds zero, or negative, value. I think it's clear that most of Mahalo adds value in organizing and contextualizing the web. Yes, there seem to be things Mahalo could do better. But to call Mahalo spam is, I think, disingenuous.

If you changed your headline into something that doesn't ignore the nuances of this issue (perhaps focusing on a specific thing Mahalo shouldn't be doing), yes, we could have a better discussion here.

seobook,

It's not Google that's saying this: you are simply asserting that a part of Mahalo falls under Google's spam categorization. Maybe there's something interesting here that Mahalo should be doing differently- I'll grant that. But then you're blindly extrapolating this to all of Mahalo? Color me unimpressed by your statements.
