Sorry, just checked the telephone numbers from hoovers.com and they have been disconnected. Is this really a company? The BBB doesn’t think it is either!

I am actually a guide, and no I am not from India but rather America. The chacha system is rather good however the company is a little strange. Even if you work for them you can never find out the information even while filling out the W-9 form. It is very strange about the pay- no I am glad I make five dollars a day. There is truth about the pay, and the advertisements are not true. If you want more information about the company though, I would suggest to look at hoovers.com. You can find the contact information there.

Some of you will be smarter than the guide you are connected with – it’s a fact – but 9 times out of 10 you aren’t going to be the normal user of the guided search. I am personally an expert in the topics I chose. I know this because I have worked in the industry etc for over 10 years with pretty pieces of paper on the wall. Why do I work ChaCha instead of getting a “real job”? Because it pays for grocery money and I don’t need to leave the house. I choose to stay at home for my kids instead of taking really cool job offers that would take me away from my house and my family. Do I think people will use this type of search? Yes, I think my mother who doesn’t know anything about computers will be happy to use it – she can’t “google” anything (believe me in 20 years I haven’t been able to teach her a thing). So it will have it’s place amid the other engines out there.

What happens if your smarter than your guide? I often do searches for very industry specific searches in information technology I usually get the results that I want. My guide had only put the keywords “Server 2003″ in the search terms and not any of the other important search terms for my specific issue. The results were vague and then he told me that the window session was about to close. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by my first search. I would be impressed if I was asking someone that was an actual IT expert because they would have known exactly what I was asking.

ChaCha is a joke, especially for the so called “guides”. It is set up basically like a MLM, guides are now figuring out they are making closer to 5.00 per hour- what kind of Pro at anything would work for that. Their guides have set up forums at places like WAHM.com and are behaving like the elite of the net in one thread and then slamming customers and each other in others. The most unprofessional group I’ve come across. They seem to have a few spokespersons out there coming to every forum posting the same speech like the one above..Enough Already!

Still trying to get ChaCha to respond with relevant results. All I receive is either “searching for results” or the results I get are totally irrelevant – is anyone else getting something that works? I am “blown away” by this – who would go out this early with a good idea and blow the execution? The good news is that google and yahoo (and ask) will do it right soon.
