Get recommendations from strangers with fooWHO

FooWHO is a site that wants to find cool stuff for you and let you share the cool stuff you find with the fooWHO community.  What sort of cool stuff you ask?  Well, it could be just about anything you want.  A cool blog (*cough*), a neato video, a sweet gadget, or even your favorite neighborhood bar.  When you sign up fooWHO will ask you questions about movies, technology, sports, etc.  This info is used to find recommendations for you.  Submitting your own recommendation is a breeze and users can vote your submissions up or down which can result in you gaining or loosing points on the site.

All in all fooWHO was a fun site to browse around but it did leave me confused at times and I couldn’t find a help or FAQ’s page anywhere.  They are in beta so maybe that’s coming.  Here’s my screencast tour of fooWHO:

Mahalo Follow wants to hold hands with your favorite search engine

Mahalo Follow is a Firefox extension that displays Mahalo search results that match whatever you may be searching for on Google, Yahoo!, etc.  The results pop up in your sidebar and only if Mahalo has a page written for your search term.  There is also a “random” feature which (duh) displays random Mahalo pages.  If you don’t know what Mahalo is then you probably don’t understand one word of this post and should probably watch my screencast tour of Mahalo here.  For everyone else, here’s my screencast tour of Mahalo Follow:
