Wolfram Alpha will flood the Internet in this month

Even though I have doubts in its concepts. Let's see if it would become another Cuil.

P.S.
C'mon, my potential supervisor talked to me about the Wolfram Alpha today too, something like "Wolfram Alpha is going to revolutionize the internet". And I read a piece of news from a Chinese media yesterday about the magic "Google-killer" Wolfram Alpha. Sigh ... 

I don't find it promising because,

1. its name is not that good-looking.
2. it's simply not the trend -- which means it's not semantically based. (Not True)
3. only a few people worked on it, namely some guy with his interns quitting from Google.
4. boy, without Google who can we trust?

Is it really going to challenge the way we search what we're looking for? Is an accurate answer to our query that important? More often than not, people search because they don't know what they're searching for, to get a hint only, probably.

Nevertheless, I believe, Wolfram Alpha will flood the Internet in this month, and well, perhaps, next month. That's all of it.

P.S.S.
I got an invitation from my potential superviser (or funding provider) to her home 周四晚上. But, I don't know, I, not necessarily but luckily & sensatively, feel some kinda antipathy from her husband .... and actually I really don't want to travel so far away to the northeastern Montreal. I don't know if this would become a kinda setup treat (鸿门宴)? Anyway, I'm picking up le francais now and I wish I wouldn't miss any thing important from her mari's bouche.

Yeah, that's the benefit of learning a new language -- at least you'll know what they're plotting.
