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.

Using twitter login on Mahalo does not actually log you into twitter also (this is shown by going to twitter.com after logging into Mahalo using twitter, and twitter does not have you logged in).
To basically sum the current Twitter login is used only as another way to authenticate yourself on our site. Thus reducing the number of passwords and usernames you need to remember.

Yes, I'm wondering what exactly happens as a result of doing this as well!
I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps an explanation of the benefits of linking my Twitter account to my Mahalo account is needed...
1. Soon you will be able to automatically tweet a question with one click.
2. new users will not have to remember a password
3. we *may* give little rewards to the first couple of folks to tweet/facebook a question to get the social media goodness going!
take a look at the image below.... imagine that you get listed in order for tweeting a question. first person gets .05, next person .04, then .03, .02 and then everyone else. 01.
could be a lot of fun.
I think the upcoming idea of tipping based on how fast you tweet your answer is going to be fun. However, I rarely win at those things, but will enjoy seeing others reep the rewards!
I have a question to ask (unrelated to this one), so I'm off to post my first question here at Mahalo! =)

The day you add my site log in will be this site really takes off :-) That's the only secret I'm sharing with you right now, but I've got some really good ideas for Mahalo Answers Community. Oh, and if you have any ideas to share with me about partnering with Mahalo once my site launches, I'm open to talking to you, too!
Sounds exciting!

Also, will twitter and mahalo stay connected or would I have to connect with each login?
(I stay logged on via my computer so I rarely use the 'login')

Will there be a link in the tweet that goes to the rest of my question?

M$I'm not arguing that there is no advantage to these logins, but I'd like to hear what they might be.

I for one would never want to clutter my Facebook page with Mahalo questions. It's more for personal stuff like photos and chat with friends.
I agree. The mahalo facebook app itself doesn't work so what does logging in with facebook do ? Just mean you can use the same login info ?
This simply makes it easier for NEW users to login into the system.... and for existing members to not have to remember their passwords/do one click login.
connecting Facebook allows you to post your questions and answers to your profile. i would certainly try that... it's very cool!
We considering giving people the ability to make .05 or .02 or something for twittering/facebooking a question. The concept being the first 10 or 20 people to socialling market the question would get a little spare change/reward for doing so.
we're discussing this project right now internally.... we're open for feedback.
Thanks for the explanation.... although it seems like its just an extra security hole (albeit a small one) for no benefit to me.
Thanks for the feedback BrianM!
@philipy --- we will have some features like "one click tweeting" down the road. only connect if you want to use that or not have to remember more passwords.
you can connect your accounts by logging out and login in with twitter. super easy.
I already have Mahalo and Twitter accounts, and the usernames are not the same. Will this work for me? Is there a point in me using it, even if I can?
