Has anyone heard of Cha Cha? Sounds like a cool idea. Call them or send them a text message (to 242242) and ask them anything. They will text you the answer and the source within minutes for free! They have a network of 25,000 "guides" who work whenever they want and are paid between $0.10 and $0.20 per answer. They only use pre-approved websites to find the answers. Pretty neat idea, right? So I decided to test them with a question no one would know off the top of their head (except probably my dad) but could find pretty easily. Here's what went down:
Q. What is Mike Mussina's career win total and career ERA?
A. Mike Mussina career average ERA is 163. Chacha on.
Only took about 2 minutes to get my response which is nice and speedy. The problem is that my-two part question only had a one-part answer, and that one-part answer was wrong. Mike Mussina has 263 wins and a career ERA of 3.69. What makes this worse is that you are also sent a link with the source of the information (in my case, baseball-reference.com, a perfect choice.) I was able to find the correct information on this page, why wasn't my guide?
Chacha=FAIL!

Awww, disappointing. ChaCha is usually pretty accurate, I think they pay their guides more to get answers right. Don't give up on them yet, try sending another one!
I have made a few more attempts, and all have been correct:
Q. Who wrote the novel Choke?
A. Chuck Palahniuk
Q. Who sang for the band Chamberlain?
A. David Moore provided vocals and acoustic guitar for Chamberlain from 1996-2000, during their most popular sting.
Q. When does Anberlin's new album come out?
A. Their fourth LP, New Surrender, will be released September 30, 2008.
Correct on all three!
