Is WolframAlpha a test?
Have you tried out WolframAlpha? It’s the highly anticipated new search engine (before Bing) which launched on May 15, 2009. Some have proclaimed WolframAlpha as the next “Google killer,” but it seems after using it that it is nothing of the sort. That’s not to say that it’s not interesting or destined to be successful, it’s just a different beast than the Goliath that is Google.
WolframAlpha is self-described as a “computational knowledge engine.” Therefore, you can ask factual queries, and it will deliver definitive answers in a structured format. It seems like search for science fair projects…
Who knows, it may prove to be a precursor to real AI in search. In fact I wonder if this is nnot really just a public Beta so the developers can collect all the input data to really make it a Google competitor in the future. Time will tell. In the meantime try it out for your self.
