The great thing about mixing it up with the SEO crowd is that they prove your point over and over and over again… first they tried to kidnap my search result on Google, now they are buying adwords to attack Mahalo (do a search for Mahalo.com on Google and you’ll see ads like the one below).
The more SEOs fight you the more you know you’re doing the right thing for the average web user. SEO is going to be looked at as a footnote in the history of the internet and search–a time we’ll want to forget.

We have an interesting discussion starting over at Facebook:
What would you do next if you were CEO of Mahalo?
Feel free to post here, but would rather see the debate over there.

I’m getting obsessed with optimization of Mahalo. We have a bunch of servers, squid, memecache, image servers, and a great team lead by Mark Jeffrey (who i’ve known for 10+ years).
Right now we are trying to get our very beautiful pages–designed by Jon Hicks, the greatest web designer on the planet for my money–to load in under one second.
If you know about optimization please give us some feedback and thoughts here in the comments. I have a great firefox plugin called FireBug that lets you see load times. Seems like I get 1.5 seconds for our serps, then .7 to 1.2 for second loads of serps (when stuff is semicached).
what load times are people seeing out there?
should we strip the pages down and make them less purdy and more fasty!??!
please let me know!
here is a firebug image showing 1.22 seconds. feedback (click on image look at bottom right)?
