the benefit of the doubt and assuming that you all didn't know about it either. But, if you did know about it and didn't tell me, well then, I'm mad. I am talking about ChaCha. In case you don't know... ChaCha is a question answering service. Say you are out with your friends and you are having an arguement about who won the 1997 World Series. You can text "Who won the 1997 World Series" to 242242 (spells Cha Cha) and within a few minutes you will get an answer texted back to your phone. Isn't that the coolest? It is free but standard text messaging rates apply. So if texts cost you 10 cents each, it will cost you 10 cents. But, if you have unlimited text like we do, there is no cost. Isn't that the greatest? Here are a couple of samples of some of the questions they have received just so you can get an idea of how useful this could be when you don't have access to a computer to look it up yourself.

Don't be mad, but I did know about ChaCha already! I think it's awesome too! Did you know that anybody can be a guide (people who answer the questions)? You just sign up on their web site, and pass a few tests, and they pay you per question.
