Well it has become apparent yet again tonight that I have been holding back some vital information to my dear friends. The new realm of answering questions has arrived via TEXT messaging using CHA CHA (242242). So instead of me trying to tell you all about it when I see you in person one random day---a blog post can suffice.
One of my kids that I tutor is definitely in the 'know' when it comes to trendy gidgets, gadgets and what not. He was the first person to get me addicted to my new texting genius. It is super simple and resembles the same concept as google text but so much better and more efficient.
Program the number 242242 into your address book on your cell as CHA CHA and you can text them (using most cell phone providers) whenever you are in need of an answer. For example, I can text something simple like what time does Costco open and what is their telephone number. A Cha Cha guide (that literally is sitting in front of a computer and searching for your answer) will text you back in a matter of seconds or minutes (based on the degree of difficulty) with your answer. An answer that has the exact source from where your Cha Cha guide found it.
Now I was using google text for the easy address, telephone number questions but they are not answering as precisely as Cha Cha and it takes up too much time...thus I leave all of my wonders to Cha Cha to be answered! Forget the easy stuff, you can ask it anything and it will search for the correct answer. Brian and I were just out in Laguna Beach and didn't have any internet access where we were staying--we are newly obsessed with everything surfing. We would text Cha Cha every morning to find out the surf conditions and the best beaches with addresses to hit up for the day. Minutes later we would have our answers and hit the beach for the day!!! Trust me it's amazing what technology can do.
If I'm not explaining it well check out their description:
"ChaCha is a free mobile search service that allows you to get answers to any question you might have - right on your mobile device. You can ask about weather, stocks, directions, restaurants, shops, products... and all your questions are answered by real people. Our very own ChaCha Guides can give you restaurant recommendations on the go, last night's baseball score, and even the average weight of an elephant! ChaCha allows you to get the answers you need, right when you need them. ChaCha is so simple to use. You simply send a text message containing your question to 242242 (spells ChaCha on your keypad) or call 1-800-2ChaCha and say your question. Your question will be sent to a ChaCha Guide who will research the question and send you a text back with your answer."
