Human beings collaborate. They also deviate, plan and plot. On a good day, they’ll create intricate towers. On average days, they’ll saw half way through your chair leg while you’re out at lunch.

Just stumbled upon a Firefox extension from the people at Mahalo.
Not Earth-shaking, I know, but quietly cool. Mahalo, in case you’ve been holidaying on Mars for the last six months, in the new search engine from Jason Calacanis, the entrepreneur who brought you such legendary web properties as WeblogsInc (the power behind Engadget and Autoblog).
