i know this has been discussed ad nauseam, but when will "they" learn that forcing a user to create an account is a bad idea? i was intrigued until i tried to ask chacha a question ("will chacha survive the recession?") and it bogarted my answer with a sign-up screen. that's the first and likely the last time i'll make an attempt to try the service.

ChaCha is mostly for use by mobile phones - it's kinda a "will you google this for me and get me the answer" service when you aren't at a computer, but can send a text message. In that case, it doesn't require any signup and can be useful enough.
