Stephen Wolfram's new search engine Wolfram Alpha is scheduled to go live this month. It is not online yet, by Stephen has been going around showing off some of its capabilities to academics. He recently did a long presentation at Harvard University which if anything increased the hype surrounding Wolfram's computational knowledge engine. The 10-minute video below shows a small part of the presentation including screen shots of the engine's responses to a few of Stephen's queries. It definitely looks like a very interesting service and I am looking forward to using it. I just have to figure out what would be the right questions to ask in order to really take full advantage of the machinery behind the interface. Hmmmm...
