ChaCha Archive

ChaCha president and co-founder Brad Bostic appeared on Fox Business today to discuss the human search engine. Check out the video below for an example query on why Brad believes ChaCha is better than computer-driven search. Sounded similar to when Mahalo CEO Calacanis always compares Paris Hotels search on Mahalo to Google.

Here’s what Brad discussed:

• ChaCha’s power is in the mobile service
• He compared why people help on ChaCha to why people help on Wikipedia – it’s because people are passionate about the topic(s) 
• ChaCha is an on-demand assistant for anyone with a mobile phone
• ChaCha has raised $16 million in private equity funding along with a $2 million grant from the State of Indiana
