Also, ChaCha isn’t trying to be like a google search. ChaCha is mostly for those times when you’re out and about away from your computer and can’t think of that song lyric, or some fact. ChaCha is really convenient for that aspect.

And yes..the pay is awful.

But it gives me something to do!

Also, ChaCha gets its money from ads and whatnot, but it still isn’t much. So yeah it might eventually fail…

If you have put a referral email, you will get a first preference from ChaCha. Like, see if you put mine you will be selected right away. – ChaCha guide since 2006!

here’s what i keep seeing. people asking, “well why wouldn’t someone just search it themselves?” well here’s some mother effing reasons to shut you people up. 1) cause it’s cool/unique 2) cause you’re on the road 3) cause you’re at grandmas and you’re bored 4) cause you need quick info and it’s your only resource. DUH! and people keep wondering if this technology will be better or compete with google and yahoo.. what does that matter or have to do with anything? this is a whole different thing! completely separate, different, irrelevant. i don’t think chacha is trying to take over or replace google! they just want to do what they do and if you want to use it you’ll use it and if you don’t you won’t. of course i expect people to be critics but damn i had no idea so many people would be 100% negative (obviously without even visiting chacha.com or else so many of the stupid questions people ask would have easily been answered!).

here’s the kicker.. if i wrote a blog about something i thought was cool or something i made, do you think comments and more blogs would flood the internet? no. obviously this is cool and some people are jealous, envious, or too closed minded to accept this new service. and to prove how much it sucks all you guys do is challenge the chacha guides with questions and live sessions.. which is what chacha wants you to do.. you know that right? they just keep saying BRING IT ON! and you keep feeding the fire like a bunch of idiots. the more we write chacha, the bigger it gets.

the last thing i want to say is directed to you techcrunch.com: STOP POSTING THAT STUPID PICTURE that someone mailed you on EVERY chacha article. that’s ONE example of someone that didn’t know what digg was and i bet after searching the internet for a few seconds he was like, “oh okay digg is a social network and search engine” but we don’t get to see that far! all you wanted was to find chacha messing up and post it on your site. i was really excited to see all the unique images of chachas mistakes cause i too want to be skeptical.. but nope.. just that one.. yes that one on 4 or 5 of your blogs and you NEVER forget to point it out. although you mention how you keep getting FLOODED with messages and images of chacha crap.. so, more pictures? no, just that one.

damn, okay so we humans just aren’t perfect.

Eventually I would assume they would outsource it to a country that thinks $3 an hour is a good pay rate.

Don’t lie here please. You do not make a $100 a week in a couple hours invested a day being a guide unless you have a network, which is a crapshoot. It isn’t possible and you know it. Even if you worked 7 days a week it would still take you at least 3 hours a day and that is if you get paid the full $5/per search hour. The guides I talk to regularly can’t even make $20 in a day unless they are on for a full shift.

I like the ChaCha RahRahs though. Very commited to a company that treats them like they have just kicked their baby.

Amy there is related to some ChaCha help so she has gotten some nice benefits. She has a right to be cheery.
