Laughed my ass off with this topic, but i was really wondering how the hell this is supposed to work with these real people and stuff, so i did some searching and found a article about this chacha thing:

i quote:

"By January, Jones had signed up 30,000 guides, who log on from their homes and answer user queries in real time via an instant-messaging client. They're paid up to $10 an hour, depending on how user rank the quality of their efforts. Don't like your guide? Give her a poor review and switch to another with a single click. "I want the bad ones stripped of their ranking," Jones says. Culling nothwithstanding, he expects to have 300,000 guides by June-as well as 1 million consistent users."

30,000 guides.. say an average of $5 an hour = $150,000 an hour. And this thing is free? 0_o

I'm still not seeing the part where he makes profit with this.

I'm guessing there going to start advertising/sponsors when it gets out of beta or something..the same as how Google has done. They've somehow made a mint from just being a search engine.

I was given one result by Karen, that's pretty poor tbh, like a hand job, i would rather do it myself.
