Wolfram Alpha
WolframAlpha launched. (If you need catching up, here's a screencast explanation.) It looks like fun to play with so far, but it's hard to understand its depth... Update: decent On The Media story on it too.

Looks like Wolfram Alpha <a href="http://keyholez.tumblr.com/post/109040560/fun-with-wolfram-alpha" target="_blank">doesn't know Brooklyn</a>.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> And:<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> "In classic stereotypical robot fashion, Wolfram Alpha also doesn't understand love:<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <em>Assuming love is a language | Use as a movie or a surname or a word instead"</em>

neat. but ... it needs a new name. i'll go "wolframalpha" some possibilities.

Name sounds funny. Not quite fitting for a 'computational knowledge engine'; unlike <a href="http://find.com" target="_blank">Find.com</a> for a search engine.
