ChaCha.com will pay "guides" up to $10 per hour spent searching for Web sites that contain answers to user questions. Guides invite other guides to the site and can then earn 10 percent of what the invited guides earn, said Brad Bostic, ChaCha.com president and co-founder.
ChaCha (it's an Alpha release) offers two services.
1) "Cha Cha" search of a database of asked and answered questions.
2) "Search With A Guide"
