Wolfram Alpha : Is it going to Kill Google ?

according to news reports (NZ Herald)

The biggest internet revolution for a generation will be unveiled this month with the launch of software that will understand questions and give specific, tailored answers in a way that the web has never managed before.

The new system, Wolfram Alpha, showcased at Harvard University in the US last week, takes the first step towards what many consider to be the internet's Holy Grail – a global store of information that understands and responds to ordinary language in the same way a person does.

Seriously? I guess you never know, I look forward to testing it out and seeing if I can crash it! I dont think Google will have a great deal to worry about though, they or some other company could just buy the technology if the author permits...

Because I am a geek and very good at typing in the correct mixture of keywords when searching online, I do not know if this type of tech will benefit me... need to wait and see though..

bring it on.
