Default To search the ChaCha

http://chacha.com is a new search engine where all results are organized by humans and no real algorithmic nature to it. Besides having a regular search interface, you can text message them with a question from your cell phone and they will text you back the answers.

I visited the search engine's website and give it a try. I actually liked it and results where much more organized than google, yahoo or msn.

Any thoughts?

I don't think the results are actually organized by humans. That would take forever. What they seem to offer is a guide to help you find what you are looking for. That's cool! The folks on this board probably don't need the guide, but would be great to send my older relatives to so I don't have to do all their searches for them.

For text message surfing or Q&A, users might want to try out the big "G". I'm amazed how fast and accurate their responses are:

Send a question or search query to 466453 ('GOOGLE') and they text message you back the results.

I've found it to be a great way to get an address or phone # for businesses when i'm on the go.

chacha looks pretty good and seems to be very well organized, also like search results for my city real estate realated terms so they are ok in my book. SERP's almost seem to mirror Google on some terms

According to the "about results" page they get their results from other search engines.
