"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."

"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!

"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!
