My "fake" job... Chacha

If you follow me on twitter or have meet me you know that i have a job being a guide for chacha.com. Its an interesting if weird job.

"Simply text your question to 242242™ (spells ‘ChaCha’) or call 1-800-2ChaCha™ (800-224-2242) from your mobile phone to ask any question and you will receive the answer as a text message. If you have a web browser on your phone, just click on the short website link that’s also included with your answer to see a reference website with more information. Since ChaCha uses human guides, you can easily reply with follow-on questions as if you are exchanging messages with a friend."

I do get paid 20 cents per answer and i can do it any time I want to. Since its powered by humans and totally free to the users i get asked anything and everything. Some of them are things i can look up on Google and some are just random. The opinion ones are usually easier to answer though.

Anyway try it out and see if you like it. If you get a wrong answer let me know.

I'll explain chacha later but if you use it take the survey you might win something. But even if you don't win you will help the service get better.

If there are any computer geeks or people interested in computer security or hacking I invite you to join us for the The Last Hope Conference. Its from July 18 to July 20th, 2008. It is a hackers conference but i think of it more as a security conference. This year I will be in charge of the information desk. Tickets are only $70.

If you are interested contact me for more information or check out http://www.thelasthope.org/ OR www.2600.com OR talk.hope.net

From The Last Hope web page:

"The Last HOPE is the seventh Hackers On Planet Earth conference. Join the rest of the hacker community from around the world July 18 to July 20, 2008 for this momentous occasion at the historic Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City.

There will be three days and nights of speakers along with all sorts of activities to keep you entertained and enlightened. We have a tremendous amount of space for us to make use of and it's all right in the middle of the city, across the street from Penn Station. You still have time to get involved in this historic event, whether by attending, volunteering, speaking, or creating something new that none of us have thought of yet.

The Last HOPE. If you miss this one, there's nothing left to say."

Just Me

Ok I promised myself at the last nyc tweetup i would start a blog. So here it is my random thoughts and stuff that can't fit into one twitter message.

Enjoy
