Will Wolfram Alpha beat Google? or will it supplement it?
Published in Wolfram Alpha was created by Stephen Wolfram who is a British born physicist, and according to some experts in the internet field claim that his tool could be as important as Google is to the Internet.
Like AskJeeves, Wolfram Alpha, a free tool, aims to answer questions directly to the user unlike current search engines that display the best results. This is done by a “computional knowledge engine” which was demonstrated at Harvard University.
“Our goal is to make expert knowledge accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime,” said Dr Wolfram at the demonstration.
Developers say Wolfram Alpha can simplify language to remove ‘linguistic fluff’

“Wolfram Alpha is like plugging into a vast electronic brain,” he wrote earlier this year. “It computes answers – it doesn’t merely look them up in a big database.”
So the question is…..will this change the way we use the internet? or will it change the way we write content for the internet so that questions get the right answers and your content is the answer that it is give….
What would happen if this technology went head to head with Google? or will all the search engines adopt this technology to help remove spam from the search results. Well all we can do is wait and see how the search engines use this tool, and how Search engine optimisation processes are effected by this.
