"you can nofollow links created by users but you should not nofollow links to content that YOU decided was worthy of inclusion on your site."<p>+1 ... Preach on!!!<p>The only reason there an (alleged) <i>need for nofollow</i> is because they are scraping tons of content &#38; displaying it <i>without</i> any editorial curation.<p>If they actually were a human powered search (as they <i>falsely</i> claim to be) and did editorial review of the links then why would they need to add nofollow to links that passed their editorial guidelines?<p>Further lets not forget that in the past Mahalo <i>did</i> provide direct outbound links. 18 months ago I predicted them adding nofollow at some point, Jason stopped by with what he called a "fact check" ... and then they later added nofollow...pretty funny!
