Mahalo Follow Firefox Extension

23 responses..

I got pinged by a friend this morning to check out Mahalo’s new Firefox extension called Mahalo Follow. Pretty interesting. I installed it and started cruising around the net. Now showing me other sites that are relevant is nothing new but Mahalo Follow takes a different approach and shows me sites that are relevant based on the context of the page… Not just the domain.

SEOMOZ Mahalo


For instance as you can see in this screen shot with seomoz it shows me sites its targeting for “SEO”. Also you have the option to recommend the site or not and even to randomly hit other Mahalo sites. I think this is a big social piece that I thought Mahalo was missing. I wish they would let you easily comment on the sites but that maybe coming in the future.



Another example I stumbled upon (no pun intended) was when I was visiting my favorite ringtone website (that I also own) and looked for Linkin Park Ringtones it shows me relevant Linkin Park sites including information about there newest album, lyrics, and even pages with there latest videos:

Mahalo Follow

I think college students and people doing research online will find this kind of tool very useful.

    Kind of neat but I can see how this would get really annoying… I like having my browser maximized 99.9999% of the time.

    Maybe I just need a larger monitor!

    Interesting little app but that’s valuable screen real estate to be giving up…

    Looks cool. I need to use more Firefox addons like this.

    And you are right ^^ - seems alot better than Stumble Upon.

    Drinking the Mahalo koolaid I see.

    That’s a great result the toolbar is showing for the SEOmoz homepage while you’re already on that page. Do you really need Mahalo’s help to find the page you’re on?

    Way too many dolphins and flowers… and everytime I’d close it, it’d pop back up on a Google search, even after I disabled the add-on. Eventually unistalled it, because I if I can’t control something (simple open/close), then I don’t like it. That all said, I did like the links it provided for some sites…

    This would have been an awesome tool to have back in the reciprocal linking days of SEO.

    Like the name, the plug in seems useful.

    Every time I hear “Mahalo” I think of Calacanis, and that’s not a good thing.

    Interesting toy. The question is : does firefox really need another extension ?

    Very good, this way you find related site without searching it.

    At first glance I overlooked it as another “try these searches” extension… but it actually seems really useful/decently made@!
