ChaCha for Answers
Yesterday I signed up to be a guide at ChaCha, a place where you can go to get answers to any question you have. Primarily SMS (text messaging based), the idea is that a user texts a question to ‘242 242,’ a guide researches the question, then sends and answer back to your mobile. I thought this concept was pretty cool, and since I like researching information so much, I singed up to be a guide. I answered their questionnaire, took their entry tests, and was accepted into the program. Today I spent time doing my 15 test searches, which will allow me to start answering queries for real. And when I do…I get paid a whopping twenty cents per answer! Not a lot of money, but over time it could add up. What impressed me most was the tools that I used to do my research (in beta at ChaCha), and how easy it was to send back an answer. I highly encourage a look at this service, whether you need answers, or you just like to help find answers. I think they’re on to something over there at ChaCha!
