    Anyone tried it yet? I did.

    I've called it WAKE - Wolfram Alpha Knowledge Engine

    Google needn't worry, though Wikipedia might lose some custom: school children seeking answers for their assignments.

    I've blogged on my brief test, I asked it 'Who is Alan Turing?' - yes I know he is not alive!

    Yeah it is nothing similar to Google but wikipedia sure might have to evaluate this. Although I mentioned in another thread that it still needs some work?

    I tried it. It failed my first search.

    Perhaps some clear guide is required.
    Seems neat though.
