Mahalo is adding a tip to all questions that don't offer a tip.

The Squarespace page is now managed by Squarespace! Is this as bad as it sounds?

See Squarespace.

I'm assuming it's someone from the company. not just a fan.

But whether it is or not in this case, surely it's a terrible idea to allow companies to manage Mahalo pages about themselves and their products?

Who would better know the company, than the company themselves? Right now I don't entirely see a problem with a company using Mahalo to build a page about their company. I ran into this page - http://www.mahalo.com/robodynamics built by a man from the company and it looks equally as nice as the Squarespace page, otherwise they may have never been built or managed.

I think for now we just want to see people building pages, we are far from a Scientology-Wikipedia controversy.

Who would be least likely to tell the objectve, honest truth about a company than themselves?

They're really going to showcase links that might be critical?

If you want destroy Mahalo's reputation for trustworthiness, that's a good way to do it I'd day.

And I'm not saying it's a bad company either.

But I'm not going to have a lot of faith in Mahalo if people could be using it for self-promotion.

I manage the page for Rob Brown.

:)

I think that I'm going to "mention" him when I revise the page but that I am personally much more interesting then both him and the hockey player who share my name - lol :)

I totally understand your concern @philipy but at this point I think we are too small to be thinking this way. If somebody wants to make a "Squarespaces Criticism" page that is an option. If Coca-Cola or Scientology came along and claimed their own pages again the best way to counter would be with a Scientology Criticism page.

For now I think we are just happy they are honest with their affiliation, instead of using obscure nicknames. I hear your concern though @philipy and I am sure it's something we'll explore more over the weeks/months/years as the site grows
