Here’s two good questions for Wolfram Alpha… one it could answer (but will it?) and one it can’t answer:

Q1: How many letters are in the answer to this question?
(Answer: Four)

Q2: Will Wolfram Alpha answer ‘no’ to this question?

Then again I guess this is a completely different beast than the typical search engine. So I guess a lot of people will still find this extremely useful.

I like the concept of Wolfram Alpha, but I don’t think it will get much exposure. For one, it is a very difficult name to remember. So marketing will be a big challenge. Secondly, the information supplied is rather limited since it only reports actual facts.

The hype around Wolfram Alpha seems to have died doiwn quite a bit. I am interested to see how it fares in the longer term. Bing is impressive, but it’s local results for South Africa are poor, so it is Google all the way for me baby!

One of the neat things I found about this Scientific search engine was that you can input salaries you would like to learn, and it will tell you what it takes to get there. Example type in: “$75,000/yr” and it is really cool what it returns in the results =D

Till then,

Yes, I also usually search on Google and Wikipedia. It’s really different. I bookmarked it and used it. Thanks.
