Wolfram Alpha - WOW

Today an old friend sent me a link to an amazing website, Wolfram Alpha, the world's first computational knowledge engine, offered for free on the web. It is an online service developed by Wolfram Research that answers factual queries directly by computing the answer from structured data, rather than providing a list of documents or web pages that might contain the answer as a search engine would. It's an answer engine .

This application could change the information searching habits of millions maybe billions of cybernaughts. i've now wasted/spent two hours asking it questions. You're gonna love it.

Watch the preview when you have the time and it will boggle your mind.

There are no limits to what you can do with this website...it is a "keeper!"

Watch the Introduction first:

Sitting Up Mud

"Bokonon made mud. Bokonon said to some of the mud, "Sit up!" "See all I've made, the hills, the sea, the sky, the stars."

And I was some of the mud that got to sit up and look around. Lucky me, lucky mud. I, mud, sat up and saw what a nice job Bokonon had done.

"Nice going, Bokonon. Nobody but you could have done it, I certainly couldn't have. I feel very unimportant compared to You. The only way I can feel the least bit important is to think of all the mud that didn't even get to sit up and look around. I got so much, and most mud got so little. Thank you for the honor!"

Now mud lies down again and goes to sleep. What memories for mud to have! "What interesting other kinds of sitting-up mud I met! I loved everything I saw! Good night. Amen."

-Kurt Vonnegut, Jr
