The Science of Communicating & Marketing Your Business

Now ChaCha is bringing back SMEs (15,000, to be exact) to help people search. ...

One way to think of things is that there are three ChaCha SMEs for every NextStage personality type. That would be great.
But another way to think of it is ask "How many of NextStage's 5,000 personality types are represented by ChaCha's 15,000 SMEs?" or, more to the point, "How many different ways can ChaCha's 15,000 SMEs search?"

I wish ChaCha the best in this and am rooting for them. I also worry that their 15,000 SMEs might be simply 14,997 other Progress SMEs "who really know how to search real well" but not necessarily the way I or others need something to be found.

In any case, there's nothing new under the sun.
