What To Do About CHA CHA
By: Nathan Mallon | 14. Nov 2008
Have you ever been sitting on the toilet and wondering who won the Ohio State vs Purdue football game that was played the day before? Well I’ve been there, and I was able to find out less than a minute later because I had my cell phone nearby and sent a text message to ChaCha (242242) asking “Who won the Ohio State football game with Purdue?” I got a text back that said “Ohio State beat Purdue 16-3 yesterday, Chacha on!” How cool is that!?
I recently discovered ChaCha, which is basically a service that allows you to ask any question you want via your mobile phone (thru text or calling) and minutes later (sometimes seconds) you get a text response with an answer to your question. All you have to do is send a text message to 242242 or ChaCha on your phone or you can also call 1.800.2ChaCha. If you randomly need to know who the 28th president of the United States was you can find out right away by texting (or calling) ChaCha, or if you need the address to a certain restaurant or movie theater you can find out quickly by asking ChaCha. If you are looking for a good Pakistani restaurant in San Fancisco or want to know who the Detroit Lions drafted in the 6th round of the 2003 NFL draft then you might be able to find out by asking ChaCha.
It blows me away how fast we are able to get information these days. I hope you are able to use ChaCha to make your life a bit more enjoyable. ChaCha on!

I just used it after I read my WTDA weekly. Thanks to everyone at WTDA I can sleep easy tonight.
I never heard of ChaCha until now. so I tried it…………I said “Where can I find a good Indian restaurant in Boca Raton, FL” (which of course would be Punjab …)
and 2 mins later “Punjab Indian Restaurant” with the address, phone number, and “It has a 4 and a half star rating”
My mind has been blown.
ha
uh huh, super cool
I am a ChaCha addict. I love that they dont solicit or anything. Its standard texting rates. Test “pq” to chacha for pick up lines. They are priceless.
ChaCha has kind of sod out. I've been using it since like last year, and at fist they didn't have any limit on questions and all the answers were completely personal because it was people making the answers for you.
Now you only have 20 questions a month and they send you like 8 messages before you get your answer talking about crap like dish network or insurance shiiettt.
It used to be waaaaay cooler. But it's still useful I guess…
I dunno. I miss the old ChaCha. It was pretty much amazing. And entertaining, and awesome.
COMEBACK OLD CHACHA :[
it still is people making the answers for you isn't it? and I don't get any messages before the answer… hmm?
I'm pretty sure it is. But it's just not as unique as was before. Now they have to have that little signature thing. It just used to be a lot more personal and entertaining. I think they have to do things a certain way now.
I see… I mean, I gotcha, I hear ya, I read ya.
