    I didn’t even know about these services. It’s fascinating they were relevant for about ten years only. What a good read.

      I used SMS google search and SMS ChaCha, they were great at a time when mobile data was super expensive.

        I remember texting chacha if every rose has its thorn, to which they would respond that according to the 1988 song released by Poison, every rose does have its thorn.

        I can’t remember so many things from that part of my life, why that stuck, no idea.

          That’s a fantastic song though. I didn’t grow up in that era, but it’s most of what I listen to these days.

            I wasn’t born till 89, so not my era either. But music comes from all eras. I think I spent half yesterday with Ain’t No Sunshine stuck in my head. That was 71? I think

                2 validations in a row. It’s 9:41am here. It’s going to be a good day. I hope you have a great one as well!

      I had heard of them but had no idea there were so many of them or that they were so successful
