ChaCha is the shit, you can text em anything and they will give you an answer.

I just heard you can sign up to be on the ChaCha team, $0.20 per question answered.

I think I'm in...

Anyone use the little known secret that is ChaCha?

Word, Mr. Kormelink. ChaCha is awesome, and I plan on taking the guide test. I'm pretty sure I'll pass. I'm pretty sure you'd pass, too. Most anyone here on FOFC would be beyond ChaCha material, no?

Just considering that they get 1000s of apps a week, I don't think they accept anyone, but I wonder how many people they do accept? 50%? (Depends on availability, too)

I'm not sure. I'd have to get a look at the test to know just how selective it is, but I'd imagine they aren't restricting themselves to Ken Jennings and his peers. I guess the only way to find out is to take the test. Oooh whatcha say? /Imogen Heap

ChaCha is the official search engine of Indiana University...though no one actually uses it.

It's like Google, except real people answer your questions rather than teh internets.

In other words, it's Google for lazy people or people who can't evaluate the validity of sources. ;)

Or for people who have access to text messages on their phone but not the Interweb.
