The internet is abuzz with opinions and findings on the newly launched “Computational Search Engine” called WolframAlpha (oh and yes, there are some easter eggs already). Although dubbed the “Google Killer” a few weeks ago, it’s not similar enough to what Google offers to even be a blip on the radar.

Google obviously has other informational products they offer such as Google Docs and Google Scholar. Unlike Google, WA can directly compare returned sets of data, present appropriate alternative suggestions (Java the island vs. JAVA the stock symbol), and offer simple charts and graphs — all on the same result page. Pretty good for looking up pertinent info and converting it however you want.

Before you start playing around with WA, check out some of their search examples.
