Bigger and Beta Justin

Beta?

More like Betastic! I don’t know if you keep up with this kind of stuff but Alpha is, like, totally five minutes ago. We’ll be trading that blue “Alpha” tag in for some yet-to-be-determined “Beta” emblazonment in the beginning of November. It seems like only yesterday there were six of us working at ChaCha, functioning […]

Link to us! Justin

Is that not a good looking badge? Wouldn’t you like a badge like that to stick on your blog? Better yet, what about the fancy ChaCha Search Box or “Download the ChaCha Toolbar” button you see on your right? If you’re like most of the people that sent us marketing ideas […]

Training Contest Winner Justin

Remember that Training Contest we had a while ago? The one that was like, “whoever trains the most people wins”? Well, hooray, because people won! Those people are: Linda C., Angela P., and Amanda G., and they all are now proud owners of $100 Amazon Gift Certificates. They make fabulous […]

Boss Day Justin

Happy National Boss Day! Seriously. There actually is a National Boss’s Day. I ChaCha’ed to find out for sure. Brad, Scott, and Tom are the big cheeses around here as President, CEO, and CTO respectively. So I suppose we should pay them homage to make sure that Hallmark stays […]

Instant Paycheck Justin

This weekend, Inside INdiana Business host, Gerry Dick, talks to Scott Jones about ChaCha’s “Pay Me Now” system of paying our Guides instantly via a debit card. If you don’t already know and you’re not in the mood to watch this video, ChaCha is paying its Guides in a pretty revolutionary way: ChaCha […]

The Naked Cowboy Justin

This week, Brad, David G., and Liza Dittoe (our amazing PR gal) were in New York meeting with some important advertisers. While there, Liza darted across Manhattan traffic, narrowly avoiding tragic bus-fate, just to take a picture of the infamous Naked Cowboy. Not only does Liza do amazing work for us, but she’s […]

Hungry for Love Justin

This is post is for all of our ChaCha Guides.
You know what we love more than even our espresso machine? We like when people write to us and tell us stories of how ChaCha saved the day (or to a lesser extent: was good).
Go check out the very first ChaCha Blog entry ever to […]

Google’s Video-Search Challenge Justin

In a BusinessWeek piece by Catherine Holahan about Google’s YouTube acquisition, ChaCha was mentioned among Google’s competition for accurately tagging videos. Click here to go check out the article or just look down half an inch to read the paragraph about ChaCha.
GLORY TO THE GUIDES. Other search engines are employing the idea of […]

Wanna ChaCha, Eh? Justin

I don’t know how many people are there are avid Canadian publication readers, but if you are (or you’re Canadian), our friends from the Great White North at Maclean’s Magazine wrote a really great article about us. From what I can tell, Maclean’s is to Cannucks as Time is to us Yankees. Incidentally, Maclean’s […]

Like Falling Off a Boat Justin

If you pay attention to any search engine news, you’ll have noticed that a new one seems to pop up everyday. Most of these new takes on Internet search either claim that their engine can understand you better, searches more, or searches better. Usually confluent with these are new interfaces, extra tabs, pulldown […]
