【推荐1】When people are looking for information on the Internet, they use a search engine (搜索引擎). There are many very popular search engines that people usually use. Two of them are Google and Yahoo. A new search engine to search for information has recently started. It is called ChaCha.
ChaCha is different from other search engines. People are still able to search topics on their own. But with ChaCha, they can even talk to experts who can help them find better information.
Some people who have tried using ChaCha think they were talking to a robot. One man who works for ChaCha said that people are very surprised when they realize that they are talking to a real person.
While using ChaCha, people start their search much like one with Google or Yahoo. Results will appear on the screen. But if someone needs more information, they can click on “chat live with a guide.” This will connect them with someone who is trained in the subject they are researching.
ChaCha faces a big challenge. Other search engines are already very popular. Almost everyone already knows about these search engines and how to use them.
