Tashanna sent in this cool site she found on Download Squad. myMiaMia gets points for having a wacky name and having an interesting service. You essentially submit a question along with your email address or phone number and it will send you back an answer. The cool part is that you can ask your question in plain text like “When was the first BlackBerry released.” The service will first try to automatically answer the question from their databases but if not it will be answered by what they call Human Knowledge Assistants. 🙂 (Imagine putting that on your resume)
I love Download Squad for testing it out by asking “Who played Ash in Army of Darkness?” (one of my favorite movies) myMiaMia actually got the answer right which is impressive.
Check it out at www.mymiamia.com and let me know what you think! According to the comments on Download Squad you can also check out www.chacha.com which performs a similar service.

Ahalan Ronen,
Just a small clarification.
You can leave a voice mail or SMS your question (see our contact numbers here:
http://www.mymiamia.com/?page=numSMSCall ; the website and the content are in the process of being revamped, so if the link doesn’t work, just look it up in the products and services).
Actually the projections were that the phone will be the main input / output media. But surprisingly for us, the share of desktop searches is very high – I really can’t expain this one.
New delivery methods can be added very quickly; technically, we can create an interface to letter-carrying homing pigeons 🙂 .
We’re still in the process of polishing things; the launch was kind of “de facto launch” – we didn’t expect the news to propagate so quickly.
