    Search engine powered by people instead of bots!

    ChaCha.com has a 'Search with Guide' button which lets you talk to one of their paid ($5-$10 per hour) employees for free in order to get help searching for things. Great fun pranking them.

    Yeah, I went through 3 people trying to get a hold of some source code for an AS3 mode7 engine. They only found AS 2.0 ones

    Spam or not, the idea is nice, will probably work for 80% of search queries from the general public, but not so much for more technical searches which are better searched by the individual as they know exactly what to look for and where...
