On the way to a wedding, a friend of mine called me for directions. He was already on the highway, I was on the road and therefore away from my computer, and since he was coming from another city, I had no idea how to help him. He didn’t mind and told me that he would text ChaCha.

That’s when my life changed.

Chacha is a company that pays its employees to answer any factual question you could possibly ask them. Armed with Google and their own databases, they are remarkably fast in getting back to you. ChaCha was rated the #1 consumer application 2008 at AT&T’s Platinum Awards.

So my friend got his directions and we spent the rest of the wedding texting ChaCha. It was really fun.

Directions are no big deal these days. Everyone has a navigator these days, and those who don’t, use mapquest. But ChaCha knows EVERYTHING.

Where can I find an Indian food restaurant close to me? What are the organic compounds produced by photosynthesis? How many calories are in pizza? How are my stocks doing? What’s the score of the game? Simply text your question to ChaCha, 242-242, and your answer will appear in under 5 minutes. ChaCha is completely free, texts cost as much as your phone plan charges to text anyone. Thus, if you have unlimited texts, you can annoy ChaCha as much as you want.

Ever had that annoying feeling where you can’t remember the name of that movie, or that actor? Your friends all nod and smile at you while you contort your face in an effort to remember? Just text ChaCha and have them search for you.

And while ChaCha may conduct searches just like you and me, who wants to spend time actually searching when you can just ask a question and get an answer?

Try ChaCha, I guarantee you will be amazed.
