Woolframalpha - oh, I get it now!
May 19th 2009 09:05
Yesterday I tweeted "Wolframalpha - what's the point?!", it's never going to replace Google...
... then I remembered that when Wikipedia surfaced everyone speculated about whether it was going to replace Google, which in hindsight is ridiculous.
Wolframalpha isn't ever going to replace Google, but it's not meant to. It's more akin to Wikipedia (but different enough to survive in its own right).
It's essentially become the worlds most powerful calculator, capable of calculating equations with words as well as numbers. When you think of it in that light; it's awesome!
