ChaCha Meets The Social Graph With Aardvark

Remember ChaCha? The human search engine that hires out ‘guides’ (and doesn’t pay them) to answer questions in real-time that come in from users. Well, new stealth startup Mechanical Zoo has figured out a way to improve upon this and has raised $6M to do so.
Aardvark is their first product and it is a social search engine that lets users ask questions that are distributed to the social graph for what beta testers are claiming ‘high quality answers’
Build up your social graph with intelligent enough people, and you could be retrieving answers to things that you always tried to search for but never knew what the proper keyword combination to type in was.
The 15 person company, founded by two ex-Googlers and another from Perspecta, have yet to launch the product to the public. You can grab a beta invite here though
