Phone answerers still doing great at the Internet age

No one knows everything. But when it comes to find an answer on the Net, Google knows everything. Or it could bring you to the answer. And if you do decide to go free riding your way with tags and people powered sites, you can try Wikipedia or Yahoo Answers.
So it’s unlikely that, at this age, a library phone answerers system could survive. But it does. And the beauty of the service.
“For years, a small band of researchers at the New York Public Library has been tackling questions from young and old, the clueless and the haughty, the vexed and the unvexed, reducing life’s infinite jumble to an answer, more or less,” wrote CNet.
For years, the 10-people group, eight women and two men, took the Titan task of answering to any questions during work time. Any questions. And it won’t disappear according to Paul Duguid, an adjunct professor at the School of Information at the University of California at Berkeley, who said there would always be some dark zones where no search engine goes scanning.
So it’s not a plea for VoIP systems build for money (Ether or Guruza), but if you do know how to mine data, and have some abilities to style your answers, spark some interests or make a joyful passionate answer, you could end up with a nice business.
