Wolfram Alpha : Google Wannabe With A Difference?

Our Comments

Google made life difficult for any startup which wanted to challenge it by its sheer presence. Cuil and many others before Wolfram Alpha tried to challenge the undisputed king of search but it is very, very unlikely that they will ever come up with anything else then some mere interesting features. Google, whose brand just reached $100 billion according to Clickz, is way too big to fall.
