I am always excited to see when a new brand comes along that uses technology in a way no one else has thought of yet. About a month ago Gern told me about ChaCha and I have been hooked ever since. "ChaCha is a revolutionary new free mobile answers service for people on the go. ChaCha works with virtually every provider and allows people with any mobile phone device with normal SMS and voice capability – from basic flip phones to advanced smart phones – to ask any question in conversational English and receive an accurate answer as a text message in just a few minutes. With ChaCha, answers are available when you need them… anytime, anywhere." Basically you text message your question to 242-242 and within a few minutes a ChaCha guide will research your question from their computer and text you back an answer. It is such a simple idea that combines 2 of the most used technologies of the past few years, internet search engines and text messages, and creates a unique experience for the user. Now you don't have to be in front of a computer to find out where the world's largest peanut is. Next time you are away from your computer and have a quick question try it out, be warned though it is very addicting.
