"WOLFRAMALPHA" the latest internet buzz word

"Wolfram alpha" the latest Internet buzz word.. Wolframalpha.com is a product of The Wolfram research..Basically a team of 100 nerds lead by Stephen Wolfram . Most consider Wolframalpha as a google killer,But WolframAlpha is of a different genre and comparing them doesn't make sense .Wolframalpha answers Queries  by computing huge amount of structured data, rather than providing a list of documents or web pages that might contain the answer like google does.

Google is a search engine while Wolframalpha is a, hmmm , is an answering engine.Wolframalpha tries to give you what you are looking for in a structured manner unlike google which gives list of urls and small description about the contents of the url.

Well pbruuuuu!! 'm a google addict. Well everyone addicted to something .Trust me when You come to realize you are addicted to something like this.. gambling addiction seems to be better.  

But i still feel google is much better than WolframAlpha.  

One :I can get more things done with Google than wolframalpha.  

two :I like google :)

(though i'm completely aware that both are of different genre and comparing them is plain insanity.)

That said.. . Google throws a lot of urls with a brief description of the contents in that url. Well being humans we are capable of finding what we want ANDD if we can do that by clicking  few url's,........ Well !!!  its time you hitch  a ride on a time machine to 400B.c.. and don't return!! ..

They say WolframAplpha can understand Complex queries while google can't . Well as far as i know it depends on the way you query.

 Just to give you an idea try "bangalore to bombay" in both Google and wolframaplha.. wolfram will give you the distance between bombay to bangalore, an approximate flight time , a map of india with the direction of flight, the local time of the two places , Population  , The Elevation..... ETC.... phew!! ..Google it'll give you site links to book a flight from bangalore to bombay...

talking about Precision I guess both sites bot's Work very hard to collect the latest information. 

well Wolfram alpha has so much data to work on and a very strong math engine named "mathematica". Try a series in wolframalpha say something "1,4,9,16,?" it'll tell which number comes next in the series.Not only that it can also perform some  real complex calculations and  graphically represent them.That part is really cool !!

As of me WolframAlpha is a smart Web utility that has Lot of structered data to work with and a smart mathematica engine .but, is wolframaplha a google killer...Hmmm i don't think so...

Anyway i have added a wolframalpha widget in my blog. Just try computing something in wolfram alpha and get a know-how of what it can do.For Some it might turn out to be really useful.
