Labor Day Weekend in Mahalo history is always expected to be a quiet one as most members are spending time with family and friends, however, Mahalo is a 24-7 website so there are always things happening. Today @wdawe noticed the recent updates to the Mahalo Answers filtering process and asked for users to help find some interesting Unanswered questions. http://www.mahalo.com/answers/mahalo-answers-community/what-is-the-most-interesting-unanswered-question-what-is-the-answer
Also on this day, two M$50 questions were asked, one by veteran user @robbrown, who asked users to help raise his StumbleUpon profile. http://www.mahalo.com/answers/mahalo-contests/heres-an-easy-way-to-get-m-50-this-weekend, and another by a brand new user @jonathanmorris who asked questions about startups.http://www.mahalo.com/answers/business-entrepreneurship/how-much-on-average-do-you-spend-bootstrapping-a-start-up
