Personally, I'm unsure how Mahalo fills a market need, especially since its been done to death already by About.comn

I love paper and ink. It is the original kindle. I don't need more information. I need stronger filters

Of course trees shouldn't be cut for magazines & newspapers. By now they should all be printed on recycled paper. And not go into landfills because they all *get* recycled.

Saying that we shouldn't print magazines and newspapers because of ethical or environmental reasons is insincere. We use [waste] more paper now than ever now that it is so easy to print from a personal computer. The use of paper is not going away.

There would be no need to ever "kill a tree" to produce a book or magazine if we'd give up our failed "war on drugs" and grow hemp for paper.

Could you be a little more careful about the language you use, even for these extracts? MSFT and YHOO are not merging.
