    Jason Calacanis has announced Mahalo Greenhouse, a way for users to get paid for writing their own search results for the Mahalo people-powered search engine. The Greenhouse FAQ gives more details on the program, where if accepted, you can earn $10 to $15 per submission.


    Greenhouse kind of makes Mahalo a bit more like Squidoo. For more details on Mahalo, check out Danny’s Mahalo Launches With Human-Crafted Search Results.

    Postscript From Danny: Jason comments below on key differences he sees between Greenhouse and Squidoo, which he recently described in an interview with John Battelle as “a dark, dirty SEO back-alley” that should have the plug pulled on it. For more on Squidoo, see Chris Sherman’s recent interview with founder Seth Godin here: Q&A With Seth Godin, Founder & CEO Of Social Search Service Squidoo.
