What would it take for M.A. to become so big that this could be used on a resume one day?
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.

Of course it won't count as real employment, because there's no oversight. An employer, looking at your resume, probably wants to know what you did for a previous supervisor.

M$I want to see when Mahalo Answers can become a full-time job. Darcy Logan spends a huge part of her day here and made 238 this month.

I'm not addicted, I swear. :-"
I do? That's news to me!!
While I know people think I spend all my time on Mahalo, I don't. Depending on what I am doing, I do have the opportunity to take a break and play on Mahalo a bit at different times during the day. But most of my time I spend working, not here.
I'll admit to an addiction. But the idea that I spend a huge part of my day here is so not true.
Just include your link so that the employer can see your contribution.

If I saw Mahalo Answers as part of an online resume or portfolio, I think it would be interesting.
Lets say that I was applying for a job as a programmer. I might ensure that I had some really outstanding programming answers. I'd likely even solicit my network of "friends" here to comment and rate my answers to ensure that I had a few outstanding results.
Then, I would highlight these answers to add depth and a differentiating factor to my online resume or portfolio.
Other than a use along these lines, I don't think that M.A. could classify as a "job". To me, it's better than contributing to a traditional forum. I enjoy the point system and look forward to funding some upcoming outsourced labour with my earnings!
