    I don't think ChaCha can compete against Google.

    The main purpose of a search engine is to provide the user with a variety of quality relevant results. How can ChaCha accomplish this when they are mixing in sponsored listings with regular listings? There is a conflict of interest here.

    Secondly, searching with a guide is somewhat time-consuming. People don't want to wait around for answers unless they are lonely and need someone to talk to. Google gives the fastest relevant results, period.

    I agree that ChaCha cannot compete with Google. Google is giving the most reliable results and has already established a good reputation.

    Google is far away for chacha. They have to chase many other small search engines first ...................

    chacha will need become a house hold name and I dont think that is going to happen soon.

    Honestly, they have no chance in beating Google.

    ChaCha is a bit different from Google and it doesn't seem to gain success, because of it's concept ;)

    Google is pretty much in a league of its own. Their only competition, if such a thing exist, is Yahoo and Google itself.
    ChaCha can become good, but not like Google. Google's territory is already claimed and no entity will take it from them!

    I don't get it-are these "guides" real people or robots? That feature is kinda cool, actually.

    I doubt chacha will even become a big name, they won't even get up to ask.com level. It's a unique idea they have and wouldn't take much marketing to get it known but I think people will become fed up with their results.
