TiE23 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Holy crap! This is great. I mean, you can abuse it lightly or it can really help you, but you can decide. Some copy pasta: http://www.ChaCha.com ChaCha has set out to create a better search engine. Scott Jones and Brad Bostic, two dynamic entrepreneurs, were not satisfied with millions of irrelevant search results and thought there could be a better experience. The ChaCha team has created: * A smart search engine powered by human intelligence. * A place to find exactly what you're looking for without sifting through millions of results. * Intelligent search results from people who are knowledgeable about the very thing you are looking for. ChaCha is all about making the web more accessible, by giving you the most relevant results you need, and it's your choice whether to search with or without a guide. The actual search engine sucks balls, but the human side works quite well. It seems to me that each guide with choose a few areas that they have a lot of knowledge in and will receive alerts when someone searches for a related subject while they're logged in to the system. You should be careful about what you search for, though. ***End copy pasta*** Okay, if you play jokes on it be careful, cause I belive they can ban you via IP, and they'll probably just ignore you if you try to piss them off. But here is my chat: Status: Looking for a guide ... Status: Connected to guide: ValerieS ValerieS: Hi there. I will be helping with your search. You: hey ValerieS: Good evening! What can I help you search for today? You: I can't turn off my computer You: Like, my grandson told me that pressing the wrong button will break it, so... ValerieS: Ok, rather than send you resources, let me tell you to hold in the power button and count to 5 very slowly. You: ok ValerieS: That should shut it down and won't hurt it. You: doing it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Status:Disconnected. EDIT: Yes, they do ban your IP, apparently asking how to rub out stool pigeons is not in line with site rules. Oh well, some of us are competant enough to do our own searches.

MrWally Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 So if you do well it's 10 bucks an hour for sitting there talking to people, browsing the internet? And you can work whenever you feel like it, such as when you're already bored. Sounds fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Anyone else get two people helping them? Found a difficult one: Status: Looking for a guide ... Status: Connected to guide: SimonW SimonW: Hi there. I will be helping with your search. SimonW: How can I help you? You: Cool! You: ok, so... I've done a little hunting of my own... SimonW: alright You: and I've only found one place where they've got the script for Serenity... the movie, right? You: but there's a problem with it... You: it's only the dialogue and therefore I can't count it as a real script SimonW: Alright SimonW: you want action also? You: since it doesn't explain even a little of what's going on in the scenes You: yes You: and if you can find something like that, I'll love this site forever SimonW: one moment please You: long moment... ain't easy to find, is it? SimonW: Of course not You: no, cuz if it were easy, I wouldn't be here SimonW: It might not even exist on the internet You: that's what I'm afraid of... SimonW: But let me continue to search SimonW: I'll try my best to find it You: I appreciate that SimonW: My pleasure SimonW: I think I found something You: ooh! cool! SimonW: Let me give you the results, one moment please SimonW: Check if thats sorta what you are looking for You: not exactly... that's just a few extra scenes... they're entertaining though SimonW: Alright You: maybe I'll have to put in a request to the imsdb SimonW: maybe i don't see any screenplay written for it You: yeah... the only thing I found was http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/s/serenity-script-transcript-joss-whedon.html You: and that's just the dialogue SimonW: yeah i found that SimonW: I didn't bother to add that to the results You: you found that one pretty quick, didn't you? So did I SimonW: yes SimonW: the last link SimonW: try to request for it SimonW: its the best place for it I guess Last thing I heard from SimonW... I found it mildly entertaining that I was searching for a Serenity script and got hepled by Simon Transfer: You are being transfered to another guide who can help you search even better! Looking for guide ... Status: Connected to guide: JosephV JosephV: Hi there. I will be helping with your search. JosephV: Hello, you're looking for a copy of the Serenity script? You: yeah JosephV: Let me see if I can help you with that.. JosephV: Still searching. This is going to be a tough one.. JosephV: So far, I have found this dialogue transcript. Let me see if I can dig up something else.. JosephV: If you're interested, I moved the transcript link to the top of the results. You: think I already have that one... JosephV: Okay, then I'll continue searching.. You: thanks, though JosephV: It's really hard to find online, but I'll keep trying. The best I've been able to do is find the screenplay for sale online at Amazon. You: well I'm writing fanfiction about the movie, so if worst comes to worst, I can just rent the movie and take it scene by scene... JosephV: This link at the top of the results is the book at Amazon I was talking about. It's supposed to have the shooting script. You: oh! Cool! JosephV: But it's difficult to find online for free, I guess because of the publisher asserting their rights. You: yeah well that's the definition of a right... they can do that, I guess JosephV: I think that the amazon listing and the dialogue transcript is pretty much the best I can find. You: well I think that's better than I did You: so I won't complain JosephV: Okay. I really wish I could've more. You: meh, it's fine... I'm satisfied that you managed to find more than I did JosephV: Can I help you with anything else? You: that's what counts JosephV: Thanks. You: sure... You: I think I'm good for now You: I'll be sure to come back JosephV: Okay. Have a great weekend, then. You: you too JosephV: Please RATE ME when you see the five stars. Thanks for using ChaCha.
