Wolfram Alpha vs. Google = Power vs. Simplicity?

by Ivan on May 17, 2009

Where does Wolfram Alpha, the new knowledge search engine which is scheduled to launch this month, fit in? It was created by Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica — a spectacular tool to work with, visualize, and even embed complex mathematical functions and scientific data.

It may be that this project may rival Google as  it goes beyond simple searching of information to computation of useful knowledge.

For example, if you ask it “What is the GDP of France divided by it population?” it will not only get the results, but you can look at the details underneath. (Try that on Google!) I also think it competes Wikipedia because it is a useful reference resource.
