Mahalo Takes A Page Out Of Fark’s Book, Launches ‘LiveBlogging’ To Nasty Reviews

Mahalo’s new ‘LiveBlogging’ service delivers one liners about world news as it breaks from blogs.
Each post to the Liveblog gets placed into a category, such as “Crime” or “Politics”, and most contain at least one link to a related guide page.
Fark.com, which looks identical, does this on a grander scale by seperating breaking stories into different pages on the site and categorizing them as ‘interesting, funny, obvious, etc’
Mahalo is taking out the ‘Expressions’ part of Fark and combining it into one place.
Jason Calcanis, Mahalo’s founder, is having 4-8 employees work 24/7 on the liveblog to link each breaking story with a ‘guide’ page in Mahalo. Someone is starving for page views.
The site previewed to TechCrunch readers today who were less than thrilled with the all the stolen Fark concepts and because this is another feature that makes Mahalo that much more confusing.
