Mahalo's Creative Approach to the Loss of Their Daily Video Blog Host
Mahalo is a website that offers a human-powered search engine. I don't really use it much, but I sometimes enjoy watching their daily video blog (or Vlog), Mahalo Daily. Their host, Veronica Belmont was awesome. Unfortunately for them, Veronica has moved on to new projects (watch her at Tekzilla). Still, I think they have done a great job of dealing with this loss.
The team of Mahalo has been hosting a competition they call "Mahalo Vlog Idol". In a way similar to American Idol, they have been holding auditions for interviewer-wannabes. It's really entertaining to watch all the potential hosts auditioning and watch as the CEO and two other judges decide whether they're good enough. Go take a look at today's episode (the last batch of the first round) and start rooting for someone at http://daily.mahalo.com/.
