One, Two, ChaCha CHA

A few months ago a friend of my brother's introduced me to the wonderful tool called ChaCha - a conversational, fun, and easy to use. Simply ask your question like you are talking to a smart friend and ChaCha’s advanced technology instantly routes it to the most knowledgeable person on that topic in our Guide community. Your answer is then returned to your phone as a text message within a few minutes.

It's basically an application similar to Google searches that you may do straight from your mobile phone. Ask ChaCha any question or concern you may have and minutes later ChaCha will send you a response. Whether you need to know the final score of a big game, weather forecast or more technical question, ChaCha will always be there for you.

Chris, my brother's friend, texts ChaCha often and recently sent the following about a bar in San Francisco called R bar:

And good 'ol ChaCha (a she according to Chris) responded with:

Downside - According to their Web site, ChaCha asks to limit your questions to four every 72 hours in order to prevent overload.
