    yep! it sure is
    i will be setting aside an hour or so for it later today just to check out the various features


    yep...that's Wolfram for you!


    useful it is!


    that's correct. but i don't think wikipedia is gonna face any heat from WA. let's see...


    broaden the KB?! um...sorry i dont know what KB is
    oh, hold on...did u mean knowledge base?! i don't think it is "narrow" by any means. it has the entire internet at its disposal...


    too much load on it :(
    (but that might be a good sign for the site ;) )

    hmmm...havent tried him yet!

    ?!?!!

    what did you expect?! :confused:


    haha! i use google chrome, so there's no such thing as a "homepage" for me


    P.S. how come only 4 smilies are allowed per post? :confused:

    I think it's really cool. you get a lot of good information, without having to search through hundreds of links.
    Also notice that it's in "alpha" stage hence the name, so naturally, there are a lot of bugs...

    I don't think too much of it... It is impressive as a encyclopedic database, but its scope is seriously limited to informational queries... I don't blame the site, it has just been marketed wrong in my opinion through the media

    Wolframalpha is completely useless for searching keywords and websites. Only for math and some encyclopedia facts.

    Yes , heard about it ..
    I read elsewhere that mathematica developed it ..
    I love the idea , the site will grow for sure and will be a guru in the future as the database grow ..
    for now, it's not finding everything ..

    It is a good idea, and quite a nice site, but i cant see how it would have any long term appeal ?

    Ok guys .. listen wolframalpha looks up math questions and other forms of things. Not "how to hack phones" or Porn sites.. it gives you information on things such as "who is bill gates" "how populated is georia" or any math question if typed in right. So stop thinking it is a search engine and will give you anything you need jesus.

    this website doesnt work very well right now for the average user because whatever it answers can be got by searching google and you will even get more sources
