The future of internet search?
Colleague Julia Atkin alerted us to this new internet search functionality. The new Wolfram|Alpha site is the “first step in an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone. You enter your question or calculation, and Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and growing collection of data to compute the answer”.
There are several YouTube videos which demonstrate how
the system works- they are obviously been out together to show it at its best, but it still looks pretty impressive.
Given that Google’s whole empire is built on the premis that they have the most effective internet search engine, it will be intersting to see what happens when this is rolled our fully.
