ChaCha is definitely on its way up the food chain. With that amount of growth the sky is the limit! They came up with something new by having humans behind the scenes instead of trying to make a computer interpret everything.

Comment from Wireless and Mobile News:
"Having humans behind the scenes," is the way things used to always be done, back in the day. Wouldn't it be great if we could talk to a human googlebot and find out what it's thinking?
BTW Wireless and Mobile News has humans behind the scenes...:)
