Do you ChaCha?
My friend heard about this site on CNN so we decided to give it a whirl. Basically you can send in any question and a live human will send you back an answer with a source website where he/she found your info. The latest feature is SMS messaging and can be done free of charge from your cell phone (std text messaging fees do apply though.). The concept was kinda cool so I decided to apply to become a guide. You have to be accepted first and then you have to take a series of tests and then a simulation test where you are graded by a human to see if you have what it takes. So I took the test yesterday and received my acceptance letter this afternoon that I was approved to be an SMS guide! Needless to say I've been ChaCha'ing all night. The cool thing is, you get paid $.15 for every answer. I ended up answering about $9 worth of questions tonight in about a 2 hour period. That's almost minimum wage haha You can get paid instantly with a debit card or they will direct deposit every month when you've reached $100. I'm going to apply for the debit card so I can get paid whenever I want. It's not much, but it's definately an experience. I got questions from What is the phone number for a restaurant, the origin of the game of soccer?, how to get to Duluth,MN. The fun is trying to fit it all in a 160 character sms message to be sent back to the person asking the question. ChaCha is my new addiction..
