Wolfram Alpha: Computational Knowledge Engine
Antony Hatton

Wolfram Alpha

Designed to me more innovative with searches, Wolfram Alpha is actually a great new search engine, which does not search for websites, but strictly information about specific subjects typed into the search bar.

The information isn't just a basic format where you get the same facts about different subjects, it is actually quite clever. It's hard to describe. If you type a planet in, the search engine knows it's a planet, and will give you information about it accordingly, such as distance from the sun, from the earth, etc...

Of course, it is new so don't assume it knows everything about everything, the data is very limited at the moment, as out of 5 searches including popular bands, films and planets, It has only come up with information for Saturn - The only planet I tried.

Give it a try and see what you think!
