Need Info Without Internet? Mosio.com Can Help

POSTED: 12:50 pm EDT April 3, 2008
UPDATED: 2:53 pm EDT April 3, 2008

In this user-generated online world that is growing and growing, it is getting easier and easier to track down hard-to-find information.

Taking a step forward from the Web site Wikipedia.org, Mosio.com allows users to e-mail or text any question to Mosio and have it answered by other users within minutes.

Of course, with the Internet, people no longer have a problem tracking down information that 15 years ago that may have required a trip to the library. But say you are stuck somewhere without Internet access, or stranded and need to find out some information. As long as your cell phone is still working, help could be on the way in minutes.

Say you are meeting a date for dinner in downtown Chicago, but you forgot to make reservations at the restaurant and the wait is two hours. By texting “Where is the best place for a dinner date in Chicago?” you can get an answer in minutes.

Users might want to know a little more information to help you, like “Where in Chicago? How much you want to spend? What kind of food? Older crowd? Bar scene? High school date?”

Mosio could also be good for finding bus routes and rates, movie show times and locations, or anything else that might come up on your date that you need to find out.

But Mosio users ask all kinds of questions, from “Was Albert Einstein ever married?” to “If you use a notary public to notarize one of your documents, are you supposed to pay them anything?”

Users are even able to answer some complicated questions, such as, “Who killed Martin Luther King, Jr.?” Since there is much controversy and debate on the subject, it is a more difficult question to answer. But after texting it, within minutes an answer comes back: “James Earl Ray confessed, then recanted.”

Mosio is a free site with ads, but says on the site that there will be a premium, ad-free service coming soon.
