ChaCha: The Text Google!

[Shiznit]

ChaCha Search

ChaCha means "searchsearch" in Chinese. It's a website/text message Google. You can ask it any question what-so-ever and they'll give you an answer. It costs nothing, just the normal text charge.

ChaCha Guide

Also, with ChaCha there's a job opportunity. If you visit https://guideregistration.chacha.com/registration and follow the directions, you can work as a ChaCha Guide and answer the questions sent in by other people!

I'm a ChaCha Guide, currently. I get payed $0.10 per question answered, and I can choose when I work.

Just thought I might throw it out there to anyone interested in a part-time job.

If there's any questions on the matter, post here and i'll reply ASAP.

What does being a guide require?

[Shiznit]

Common knowledge, fast typing, good with finding a source to back up an answer.

ChaCha has its own search engine, but it encourages the use of any online engine available.

Worth a looksie.

[Unforgottner]

So you just sit on your computer for like, 5 hours or however long...and answer...questions?

[The Anti]

How do you get your paycheck?

If that's how much you wanna work, then yes. But you don't have a specific schedule. It's just whenever you get free time, or feel like making a little money.

How do you get your paycheck?

There's 2 options:

Pay-Me-Now - You can press a button, and get a check in the mail.

Pay Monthly - An automatic check sent to your home, every month.

[The Anti]

How often do questions come in?

[Shiznit]

Depends on the time of the day.

They come in fast, and in large amounts. Whenever i'm on, its usually one question after another, but you can stop at any time, and pass a question that you can't answer.

The most active time is between 6 p.m. and 12 a.m.

[Realist]

So to make $6.00 an hour you have to answer a question every minute? Nice. :) Is quality judged at all?

[Shiznit]

Yeah, quality is judged. If you have a crappy source, or give a wrong answer, the guide gets punished. 99% of the time, the answer is reliable. And if the receiver had doubts, they could always follow the link to the source.

Try it out! All you need is a cell phone, and texting. Or just visit the website and ask.

[BaxVarlet]

It's about as reliable as wiki I guess...

[Shiznit]

Actually, Wikipedia is one of the blacklisted sites.

[BaxVarlet]

So have you actually cashed one of these checks yet?

[Shiznit]

No, I have not receive pay yet.

I'm waiting until I earn around $500.00 before I press the "Pay Me Now" Button.

That way I get a sense of accomplishment out of the whole thing.

[The Anti]

Wow, good luck Shiz. I might check it out more tomorrow.

[Jeffery]

Stupid spam bots.

[pils]

How much have you gotten so far?

[Mr Anton]

I've been using chacha for a month or so now, and It's quite the way to kill time while I come close to a comatose state in math, or just have nothing else to do while I sit at home and twiddle my thumbs. Trying asking it situational questions, such as "my coworker is making homosexual passes towards me, i'm scared and uncomfortable, what should I do?" It makes for some humerous conversation.

[Shiznit]

/bump

[Maverik07]

You have to be 18 to do it.

/lame

[Shiznit]

Unless you lie to them. Like I did.

Lawls.

[Maverik07]

Can you still cash your check if you lie about your age?

[Shiznit]

As long as you have a bank account, I'm sure you could.

If you have a check with your name on it, it's your money.

[Maverik07]

Have you cashed a check from them yet?

[Shiznit]

No.

Like I said previously, I'm waiting until I get around $500 dollars before I ask for a check.

[The Anti]

Have much do you have so far, and how much time/effort have you put into it?

[Shiznit]

So far I have about 142 dollars that I've earned from just answering questions.

I usually go on there about 1 hour or so, every day. So you could earn TONS more than what i've got.

It's pretty sweet if you've got a lot of free time on your hands.

Sounds like a great thing to do in the summer. :)
Do you know if this will be something I could easily get passed my parents?

[Shiznit]

Uhh.. depends on if you share a computer or not.

You have to install a toolbar in order to use ChaCha Guide Console.

I can post some s/s's if you'd like.

That'd be nice if you could post some s/s's. I have my own laptop, so there's a start. The only problem is my dad goes through the mail everyday, and he wouldn't be too happy if I'm giving my info away to some random company on the internet. -.-

[OFFLINE]

You have to enter your S.S. #?

[The AIDS Virus]

You have to enter your S.S. #?

I knew we had illegal immigrants on this forum!:p

[Maverik07]

Yea, entering all that information while im lying about my age doesnt sit well with me. Especially that clause about perjury and whatnot. I dont feel like getting in trouble for $100. Maybe ill consider it when i turn 18 in a couple months.

[R G]

This sounds like a great idea.

I think I am going to employ my Magic 8 Ball to assist me.

Reply Hazy ask again later - lol

[I Just Ownd You]

I had a substitute teacher who worked for this, and he was a gypsy, he likes to steal little children.

[Liquid Swordsman]

So it's a bunch of kids trying to make 10 cents giving you the answer? Sounds like it should work pretty well..:rolleyes:

[Shiznit]

That'd be nice if you could post some s/s's.

ChaCha "Idol" (http://i43.tinypic.com/1zpp6df.jpg)
It's for whenever you're away, or waiting for a question.

New Question Available Pop-Up! (http://i40.tinypic.com/j7xpx0.jpg)
Yay! New Question! (Notice the status is set to Available.)

In Question (http://i41.tinypic.com/x531o0.jpg)
This is where it all goes down. You type in the answer, after you find a reliable source. you have limited text. (Cause it's supposed to be a text message.) I lol'd at the question too.

ChaCha Profile (http://i40.tinypic.com/9fpcsx.jpg)
You also get your own profile. It tells you how many total things you've done, join date, other important stuff.

It's pretty sweet, if you ask me.

You have to enter your S.S. #?

I don't remember, I'll look into it.

Kids, no. Adults, yes.
I just lied about my age. All of my other information is correct.

[Wizzy`]

Sooo..it's a bunch of kids lying about being adults?

[NejixKun]

ChaCha means "searchsearch" in Chinese.


I read this sentence and knew it's bullcrap, because the name is wrong. I would know, I'm chinese.

Search is more like, "Wun".

[Shiznit]

Possibly, but if you don't show maturity, you can be blocked from the guide status.

That's just what I was told. You're the expert.

[mushroom_girl]

People get paid to ChaCha?!

I love this thing. :happy:
They don't need new guides.....*sigh*
