EMERGING SEARCH ENGINES AND BEER MONEY JOBS
Technology tends to replace what was once a formerly labor-intensive process.
The business search company ZoomInfo just launched a semantic search engine that works by applying tags to information that distinguish between key concepts, such as a person, an industry, or a company name. ZoomInfo delivers a single site for quick and easy access to in-depth information on industries, companies, people, products, services and jobs, with profiles on more than 35 million people and 3.8 million companies.
ZoomInfo - Business Information Search Engine
ChaCha Search has a different approach; it combines the results that are hand-picked by human guides with the best computer-generated search results. Computers automatically index all the questions that are asked to the ChaCha guides, associate them with the search engines and resources that have been used and the links visited by the end-user. ChaCha, the human-assisted search company, pays the ChaCha guides between $5 and $10 an hour as a starting wage, and any money they earn can be dumped instantly onto a debit card and spent right away. Some ChaCha guides have specifically labeled this as their beer money job!
