This weekend I discovered a new service, sponsored by AT&T, called ChaCha. Simply call or text the number with anything you’d like the answer to. Next, you get a text confirming the question. Then, after someone on the other end, has physically looked up the answer (or looked up if they’ve had to answer it before anyway) they text it out to you… FREE OF CHARGE. How fun is that? Obviously, I tested the system with the simple stuff, but realizing the full potential, I quickly moved into deeper waters.
QUESTION: Is Marie Osmond still alive?
ChaCha says: “Yes, Marie Osmond is still alive, and actually she is doing great. She just lost 45lbs doing the Nutri system diet.”
QUESTION: Wait, how does ChaCha make money?
ChaCha says: “ChaCha is a service where human guides answer your questions. Just call or text for free. ChaCha is ad supported.”
How long will this economic downturn last for?
ChaCha says: “There are many opinions, but most experts say the economy will not improve until at least the second half of 2009. ChaCha on!”
Did Molly make it to heaven?
ChaCha says: “Chacha’s crystal balls says ‘it is certain.’”
What is that smell?
ChaCha says: “The is the smell of burning keyboard as the ChaCha Guides work diligently to answer your wonderful and unique questions! ChaCha!”
How can I get people to leave comments in the comments section?
ChaCha says: “Perhaps your content wasn’t fresh and exciting, and people couldn’t find anything of YOU inside it. Controversy will help.”
Fun, right? So what would you ask ChaCha? And how accurate do you find it’s answers?
