Good morning, ChaCha

robotech_masterWell, ChaCha was to be featured on Good Morning America today, so I got up all nice and early and tuned in for the half-hour during which it was to be shown...and didn't see it. Apparently it was aired during the timeslot that my local station replaced with a local news segment.
But oh well, at least I could log in and take advantage of that high traffic to get some searching for money done, right?
Only...I logged in and promptly didn't receive a single search, for the last three hours. Apparently the site got so much traffic that the system is breaking down a little. On the bright side, I did get a half dozen more requests for invitations to be ChaCha guides, which I promptly fulfilled—despite the claim last night that the invitation system was going to be offline until Thursday. It still seems to be up now, and I still seem to be able to send invitations despite theoretically being limited to 8 slots and only getting slots back when people I invite actually make progress as guides. Man, those ChaCha folks sure have some buggy code. But I'll make the best of it while I can.
I have made $37.45 so far, which, if not a complete replacement salary, is at least a decent amount for sitting in front of the computer anyway.
If anyone else wants invitations, email me and I'll fulfill 'em while I can.
