ChaCha Debuts Human-Powered Mobile Search

chachalogo.gif ChaCha on Thursday announced a new human powered search service that allows users to text questions of any kind to 242242, which spells ChaCha on most mobile phones, and receive answers back by text. NewsFactor Network reports.

"While the service might not look unique at first glance, it is actually a real human being that sends the answers back. The service is currently available as a free trial, although the company said it plans to offer subscriptions in the future."
