Wolfram|Alpha Launch

I followed the video feed of the Wolfram|Alpha launch tonight. Offering this as a live feed was innovative and not without several hitches.

After a couple of hours, the site went live. I was able to conduct a couple of searches. I was unable to find out anything about me. I was able to obtain a lot of information about Grand Forks.

At present I cannot connect so I decided to just call it a night.

Wolfram|Alpha should be available to everyone soon.

The site is functioning this morning. I am still attempting to understand the intended focus of this service. The FAQ tries:

Is Wolfram|Alpha a search engine?

No. It’s a computational knowledge engine: it generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base, instead of searching the web and returning links.
