Google Killer
WOLFRAMALPHA
WolframAlpha is a revolutionary new search engine that computes answers rather than pointing to websites. The site was officially launched yesterday amid heated talk that it could challenge the might of Google. The service can compute the distance between two cities, the population of a country, county or city at a specific date and the position of the Space Shuttle at any given moment. The user does not have to search through links provided by the engine; the answer comes immediately and, if appropriate, is accompanied by charts or graphs. What it does that Google, at the moment, cannot do is provide answers to questions that have not been answered already.
"WolframAlpha's long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything. Our goal is to build on the achievements of science and other systematizations of knowledge to provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to factual queries."
