chacha.com

There's a new (beta) search engine on the Internet. It's called chacha.com. The new thing about chacha.com is that it offers an alternative search method. Normally you enter the thing you search for and press submit (or whatever). This engine has the impossibility to search with a guide.

What happens is that you get contacted by an actual person (a chat interface like thingy) and he/she does the search for you, and returns the thing you actually needed. No more thousands of pages to dig through. Note that there are some rules you need to follow.

As mentioned by Leo Laporte in the Net@Night podcast, it's a girly-search-engine.... Guys don't (or won't) ask for 'directions'.
