How Twitter helps him run Mahalo.com:
"With Twitter, I can [release] new features and ideas to Mahalo's 'superfans' ahead of time and get their input. Many of the bloggers and press watch my Twitter stream as well, so if I want to leak something to the press, I can do it by just saying 'what do you think about this…?' and if it's notable, it will be on 10 blogs in a day. So, for me it's part focus group, part press release system, and a lot of fun to interact with users and fans."

"M2 racks being installed… very exciting. The big iron for Mahalo 2.0 is being installed! (100 servers FTW!)"
