Google to go
Mark Frauenfelder for TheFeature.com, reports on a a fee-based information service for mobile users in Australia called Mojo Knows.
"To use the service you just SMS your question to the Mojo team. You can assign three levels of urgency to your question (Very Urgent means you need the answer in 15 minutes or less and costs $3.00). If the answer doesn't come back in the alloted time, you don't have to pay".
This is along the same idea as the "Ask Experts" sites which flourished on the Web a few years ago, when Internetters could ask live people to answer difficult questions and receive a reply by e-mail such as on Expert Central, or by consulting a forum such as the NY Times' famous, Abuzz. A fabulous concept made possible by the Internet, harnessaging the knowledge of thousands.
