Wolfram Alpha

The next generation of search engines and potential Google Killer????, goes live. Wolfram Alpha reads your question in natural language, scans its own databases, and gives you the answer. Wanna know who shot Kennedy? No more poring through Wikipedia looking for hints. Wolfram Alpha will probably complement, rather than challenge, Google. Well the two sites offer two distinct services: Wolfram Alpha looks like it can't be beat when it comes to pulling up raw data and presenting it in a graceful, useable form, and Google is great for, well, everything else. Wolfram Alpha's focus on statistics and cold, hard data will make it more of a threat to Wikipedia more.
