Mahalo.com: Porn site to human search engine
So it's a rainy night here in NYC and Carvel is out of my favorite flavor. As I walked back to my apartment, I thought to myself, let's see what the domain history is for Mahalo. Surely, Mr. Calacanis couldn't have been the first registrant in 1995, right? Alright, so let's pop over to the Internet Archive Way Back Machine, spin the wheel and see what comes up!
Actually, there isn't much which was disappointing. Only nine links over four years. So I started clicking, and six of the pages are your standard "your webserver is ready" crap. So I click "December 3, 1998" and what do I find? A PORN SITE. That's right folks, the new "Super great human awesome going to beat Google search engine" used to be a porn site. :)
Here is a screengrab (images didn't load):
Anyway, just a bit of fun on a hot, hazy and humid night. And I guess this post is better than eating a 2,000 calorie Flying Saucer.
My social networking web site Love Across Borders use to be a porn site too. ;)
Do not even think of eating that Flying Saucer (and don’t think I don’t know what that is, I’m from Brooklyn too).
Go buy a couple of bags of frozen veggies from Whole Foods, pop them in microwave and eat them with some salt and/or hot sauce. Also, use the humidity to your advantage: take a long sweaty walk!!!
