I remember using ChaCha. Good times
I made enough money on chacha one month to pay for some weed!
118 118 had great ads. My friend and I dressed as the 118 118 guys for a sports event at work. :-D
We did this for a friend’s birthday at uni. There were about 20 of us. Great night haha
I used to love texting these numbers when drunk.
Ask Jeeves was doing this before Google existed…
Wonder if there a way bring any of these types of services back and be affordable? Like the part of chatting with older people. There are lots of old people in this world who would love to have some to talk with.
Ask Jeeves wasn’t an actual person though
Ask Jeeves was a “question answering service” back then. They had a staff of human editors who curated answers to popular questions. Nothing they answered back then was done via search.
Source: I worked for a search engine startup in the 90’s that was acquired by Ask Jeeves when they realized they needed a true search technology since human editing wasn’t scalable.
guess we replaced Google
Noice🤌Ain’t that so sweet
