How does Mahalo Answers work?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'm a Mahalo employee and can perhaps help in answering this question. Mahalo Answers is a service by which users can exchange knowledge by posting questions and receiving answers. What differentiates Mahalo Answers from Yahoo! Answers the most is the optional ability to give tips on questions through a virtual currency. Money can be converted to "Mahalo Dollars" and rewarded to people who give you a particularly helpful answer. Users can remove their money (minus a 25% fee) from the system after they've earned at least M$40.

Our CEO, Jason Calacanis, explains the many features of Mahalo Answers is this essay on the product: http://calacanis.com/2008/12/15/why-we-built-mahalo-answers/

In short, a user posts a question and other users answer the question. Sometimes a tip is offered by the "asker," using mahalo dollars, to provide incentive for others to answer his question.

Pretty well, actually. I've had good luck with my questions.
