wolframalpha.com is now live!

[Spiral]

the much hyped search engine that claims to compute data related to your search query and give you specific answers instead of links like on other search engines is now ready for public use. i just tried it out a few minutes ago.

it sometimes fails to make sense of my inputs, and says "wolframalha doesn't know what to do with your input".....that gets a little annoying, coz i try to be as specific as possible without using too many(or TOO few) words.

but sometimes it gets one of its "eureka" moments and manages to tell me exactly what i want....
for example i asked it, among other things, the distance between two (specific) cities. it gave me an accurate distance in miles, km, feet and so on.... but then it started to show-off! it began telling me how long sound, light...oh and yea, a PLANE, take to cover the distance. all this before i even clicked on "more".

it is still new though, and in test mode. and you might keep getting the overloaded error. all in all, it looks like a good development, though nothing earth-shattering yet. but i still have to try it out thoroughly, once the "overloaded" messages stop.

what do you think of the site?
