No one should be surprised that Jason Calacanis has taken issue with my analysis of the paltry traffic to his new search engine, Mahalo. Ever the promoter, Calacanis jumped right into the comments. But I am a bit disappointed that this is the best spin he could come up with: "Being in the top 20,000 on Alexa rank is a darn good for a one month old site." Really, dude, you're better. Let's review this list of Web pages which outscore Mahalo on Alexa:

• "Dolphin love" MySpace layouts.
• Trenchant analysis of the Mr. Potato Head supply chain.
• A discussion of Tibetan butter tea.
• And finally: LOLcats.
