Who'd have thought it - A new search engine!

Tried it and after watching it time out three times in a row I gave up.

Waste of space!

It really is a shame that the launch has been high profile and very unsuccessful. Perhaps wolfram have valid reasons (funding??) for raising the profile of the launch into the media spotlight but it's clearly an unusable service. The alpha -> beta -> production release lifecycle is not looking promising for this project, but I do hope it survives.

I wouldn't call this a 'Google killer' because it has very different objectives, but it might give Google ideas (if they weren't already doing so) to go in the direction of wolfram killer. If they did, I would expect them to keep it quiet and at least implement a usable platform before launch.

Just get Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input. When I tried to advise them what they could do with me input - guess what?
