Other forums have started this up, here's some stuff from the Bimmer Forums. Basically it's a search engine but you have an operator help you find stuff. Here's some examples of the convos. Post up yours! http://www.chacha.com click search with guide. Note the below is not mine, I believe it's from a fellow over on bimmerforums, found it hilarious though.

Hahaha, how are they going to keep their operators from quitting?? People will spend hours just f'in with them.
The Guides are brave people..... On another car forum I'm on they have been doing this for over a month now and some of the stuff is pretty funny.
Yeah, I feel bad because this really is a good genuine idea, unfortunantly they knew this would be coming.

haha, I applied to be an operator but they never got back at me . I would be just as amused by people asking me these questions as I am asking them.

LOL, here's my conversation and the two links she provided. Link One. Link Two. Status: Looking for a guide ... Status: Connected to guide: YvonneD YvonneD: Welcome to ChaCha! YvonneD: Hi there. I will be helping with your search. You: Hi, Yvonne, how are you...? YvonneD: great and yourself? You: Very well, thank you./ YvonneD: I see your looking on information on chacha? You: Yvonne, I was just engaging with another ChaCha operator - Sarah - and I was booted. Something about abusive information. You: I swear I wasn't being abusive. You: But here's what I asked her: You: I'm searching for pictures of copies of funny dialogues other people have had with operators on ChaCha... You: They are going around on the internet and I wanted to see more. You: I figured if I'm gonna search - I might as well use ChaCha, right...? YvonneD: Ok let me take a look for you one moment YvonneD: that's right You: Thank you, Yvonne. I appreciate you taking me seriously. YvonneD: no problem You: Yvonne, while you search, can I ask you another question or is it not within your capacity to search and chat simultaneously...? YvonneD: I can answer you sure You: Okay, cool... You: How does one apply to be an operator on ChaCha...? You: Does the applicant need internet search experience or is that provided via some sort of software or instructional guide from ChaCha...? YvonneD: well you can go to the main site of chacha there is a link that says become a guide click on it and just fill out your information You: I must concede, I'm not very internet savvy, but this seems like it would certainly be an interesting occupation; even if done for free and only part time. You: I don't speak with very many people. I have intermittent contact with other human beings. I spend a lot of time in front of a computer. YvonneD: you don't need very much computer knowledege just the basic know how You: A position such as yours would yield two results: enabling better internet skills for myself and communication with the human race. YvonneD: and they provide you with search engines to aid you on your keyword/search topic You: Okay, I have the basic know-how. I work with computers quite frequently. I just don't know the tricky ins and outs about searching for stuff. You: Do you enjoy this...? YvonneD: yes I do YvonneD: you should be just fine then YvonneD: it's quite easy You: Are the search engines the ones available to the general public like Google and Ask Jeeves...? Or are the search engines only privately accessible...? YvonneD: well you have a few normal ones like digg.com,google,chacha and a few others YvonneD: depending on your search topic You: Cool... I'm glad you enjoy this. I would like to know more about this, if giving me information about it is permissible. You: I see. You: Still no results on funny ChaCha conversations...? YvonneD: sure I'll send you the link to the guide sign up in a minute You: Is this a job for which you're paid...? Or is this a voluntary thing...? YvonneD: well I'm lookimg this one over now YvonneD: I get paid You: Okay, just checking... You: Cool...! You: You're not formerly associated with Dateline, are you...? YvonneD: no You: Okay, just checking. You: Awesome, just saw the first guide result, thank you. YvonneD: great YvonneD: let me give you that link to the guide sign up You: Awesome, thank you ./ You: Do a lot of people come here just to flirt with you...? YvonneD: oh yes You: No kidding...! That's kinda funny when you think about it...? YvonneD: yes but I think some think this is a game unfortunately You: Does it bother you that such a great idea like ChaCha is flawed with those intentions...? You: I see. You: I see the other link; thank you. YvonneD: no just gives me more learning power YvonneD: your welcome You: Nice...! Utilizing others' weaknesses and behaviors to strengthen yourself. I like that. You: You're right. This place is no joke. YvonneD: No it's serious and I'm trying to make some extra money to help my husband raise our 3 kids You: Wow, I hear you on that one. It's sad that people need to exploit every area of the internet for their personal amusement. YvonneD: so how about those results ? You: Some people have not yet come to grips with the fact that the internet isn't just a fad. It's here to stay and plays an integral role in professional and social functions on a global scale. YvonneD: your right about that YvonneD: and what's great about chacha I can entrust it enough to let my kids use it for research without being harmed in any way You: You mean, because the guides won't inappropriately chat with people...? YvonneD: right You: Does ChaCha block adult-oriented links that might be yielded through searches that don't require the assistance of an operator...? You: I see... YvonneD: yes they do YvonneD: block adult content You: Not bad; this would be the first search engine I'm aware that does that. YvonneD: yes because behind every guide lives a family person You: Now what about searches for adult-oriented material done WITH guides...? Do the guides enable those searches...? You: I hear that. YvonneD: so we are a family based orginization You: I see. Well then that makes sense then. You: Nice to see a family-based organization on the internet. YvonneD: as a guide we are unable to perform adult content searches You: I see... So there's never a need for proof of age when requesting material of an adult nature because it's not permitted within your scope of job requirements... YvonneD: correct You: Well, Yvonne, I don't want to take up any more of your time. It was very nice chatting with you and I learned a lot about ChaCha. You: I will certainly return when I next need the uses of a search engine (for things other than adult-related content). You: I do appreciate your help and I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. YvonneD: you too YvonneD: thanks You: Thank you, Yvonne. Have a good night. YvonneD: Thanks for using ChaCha! I hope you had a great search experience! YvonneD: you as well YvonneD: Please RATE ME. Thanks for using ChaCha. Status: Session ended.
Another one... Status: Looking for a guide ... Status: Connected to guide: BarbaraT BarbaraT: Welcome to ChaCha! You: Hi, Barbara, how are you...? BarbaraT: I'm doing good - what did you want to know about ChaCha? You: I'm trying to find ways to accurately convey to people the correct uses for the two words "your" and "you're"... BarbaraT: OK - I'm not sure how that relates to ChaCha though You: ChaCha is a search engine, right...? You: I want to use the search engine to find a way to accurately and successfully explain to people that "your" is different than "you're" and teach them the difference between the two. You: It's frustrating communicating with people on the internet when their grammar is all screwed up. You: Barbara...? You there...? BarbaraT: That happens sometimes - give me a few minutes to check for some sites - OK? You: Okay, thank you, Barbara... BarbaraT: Sure You: Barbara, can I ask you another question while you search or is that not within your scope of capabilities...? You: I don't want to hinder your progress; just wondering... BarbaraT: Not allowed - sorry BarbaraT: One search at a time :-( You: Okay, no sweat. You: No, no problem at all, was just wondering. BarbaraT: Seems like I'm having some computer issues - bear with me - OK? You: Please, take your time... BarbaraT: See if these resources might help you - and by the way, you sure can type fast You: LOL, thank you.. You: I spend lots and lots of time in front of the computer. BarbaraT: Me too You: I was looking at the first link but it seemingly yielded no usable results.. You: Is that why you took a job as a ChaCha operator...? BarbaraT: OK - try #2 while I look some more - OK? BarbaraT: Yup You: I guess it makes sense if you're internet savvy and computer literate... You: Absolutely... And please take your time... Thank you, Barbara... BarbaraT: I don't know if I would go as far as savvy and literate, but.. You: LOL...! You: You must be computer and internet competent to some degree, right...? You: I mean, ChaCha isn't hiring complete idiots, right...? BarbaraT: Definitely not You: LOL, good answer... You: So since you spend a lot of time on here, talking with people... BarbaraT: The last one may be the best link You: ...do you ever get tired of incorrect spelling and grammar...? That sort of thing drives me nuts...! BarbaraT: I have to move on - if I haven't found what you want, I can transfer you to another guide You: That last link seems to be the most helpful of the three... BarbaraT: Would you prefer that? BarbaraT: That's what I kinda thought too You: LOL... You: What is the idea behind offering a guide transfer...? Is that to keep idiots at bay from messing around with the live guides...? You: I mean, all the guides are equipped with the same technology, right...? You: Barbara...? You still there...? You: Barbara...? You: Hello...? You: I feel so alone... You: LOL, I think I know what's going on here... You: You just minimized my window and went on to help someone else... A very formidable tactic, I must say... You: Well, this was fun; and I honestly do appreciate your help. Thank you. The F5 button will bring me another guide with whom to chat. No filter for F5 yet I hope.

You: not a bad idea You: can I ask what they pay you? KathyE: We get $5.00's a search hour, until we promote. KathyE: Then it goes up to $10.00's. You: what do you have to do to promote? KathyE: Get at least 10 great ratings in a row, and keep it up to tat level I believe. KathyE: Something like that anyway. You: well would you be interested in working for Microsoft? I would pay you just to curse out every person that comes here because they should be searching on our site KathyE: No, they monitor our chats. KathyE: Anything else you wanted to know?
