If you have questions, like the Charlie's query on about ChaCha's revenue model, I may be able to help you.<BR/><BR/>ChaCha doesn’t actually make much money yet. We are building our infrastructure and audience. Several immense revenue opportunities exist for us, the most likely of which is an advertising model where answers would be accompanied by an additional targeted text advertisement based upon the user question and user location. We envision these ads as non-intrusive and hyper-targeted, such that they add value rather than detract from it.<BR/><BR/>jeff.jockisch@chacha.com<BR/>strategic guide development<BR/>chacha.comjeff jockischchacha.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1712129243572642913.post-12264395812679890662008-05-14T23:32:00.000-04:002008-05-14T23:32:00.000-04:00@Liz<BR/>Good post. Good ideas for its use as well. I shared Chacha today with some students who thought I was pulling their leg. I still don't quite get how they make any money on the whole deal but it is rather fascinating and helpful. It is especially great for finding phone numbers of places when in new cities. It is fascinating to me and so helpful.Charlie A. Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09335346223868916197noreply@blogger.com
