    Does anybody remember "Cha-Cha?" This was literally their model. Person asks a question via text message (this was like 2008), college student Googles the answer, follows a link, copies and pastes the answer, college student gets paid like 20¢.

    Source: I was one of those college students. I never even got paid enough to get a payout before they went under.
