ChaCha Offers Instant Payments to Web Workers
Michael Calore at Wired Magazine:
If you’re a broke college student in need of some last-minute scratch for tonight’s hot dinner date, ChaCha can help you out.
ChaCha.com, a site offering human-assisted guided search, is introducing an instant payment system that would offer its contracted guides the option to get compensated for their time immediately via debit cards.
As a search engine, ChaCha is still an experimental tool. I tested the guided search and found that it returned relevant results, but the experience was slow.
Even if the search tool doesn’t excite you, the instant payment system should. It signals a step forward for the thousands who make their living, or even just their spending money, on the web.
