HOW IT WORKS
Sign up for both Mosio and Jott. In your Mosio Settings enter your Jott information. When you have a question, simply call Jott (866-JOTT-123) and say "MOSIO" then your question. Your answer will be texted back to you within moments by the Mosio community.

Dubbed Mosio, this service allows you to text whatever question you have, and real people will answer it for you, and reply via text.
So, going back to the age of Hillary Clinton, I just sent them the question and some seconds later got a text back:
Hillary Clinton was born in 1947 so she is 60 years old
There it was. The answer right in the palm of my hands, which ended the argument very quickly as everyone was off by years."Full Story

"I was impressed to get my question (What is Lifehacker?) answered (Lifehacker is an advertising-supported weblog about life hacks and software which launched on January 31, 2005) in just a couple of minutes. Mosio seems like an idea that would work best for finding answers to questions for which you wouldn't really know where to begin looking with something like Google SMS."
Thanks Adam!

"Ever had a question while out in a bar with your friends or while you’re at a baseball game, but can’t get to the Internet to look it up on Google? Or maybe you have a question you’d prefer to have answered by a human like “Who’s better looking, Cameron Diaz or Angelina Jolie?”"
Thanks Aseem!

One of our favorite quotes:
"There's even a random Chuck Norris fact generator that admittedly is pretty useless, but free nonetheless."
"Chuck Norris" and "useless" in the same sentence? You are a brave man, Josh. :)
Seriously though, thanks for the post!
