Wolfram Alpha is for a select group
Wolfram Alpha has gone live. There have been rumours around that it may not live up to the expectations. But over the weekend, the users have found the computational search engine pretty useful.
Wolfram Alpha definitely is not a Google killer. It may provide answers to direct mathematical and engineering problems but that’s where it stops. The search results are so few with almost no links at all.
I am sure Wolfram Alpha would not like to stop there and will definitely have more and more features added up to its stable. There are so many viable options to choose from. To name a few: online internet marketing, links, paid advertising etc.
Certainly Wolfram Alpha has created lots of buzz around and Microsoft’s Kumo is expected to follow it next. I am pretty sure that war has just begun. But definitely there is space for more than one dominant player.
Kumo, the rebranded Bing, Yahoo and Wolfram Alpha shall all be competing and trying to cut in to Google’s share. Google has recently come out with their finding that Google content network accounts for roughly 80% of total content in the web arena.
The search space is definitely getting interesting.
