Ok, so I just so happened to stumble across an article that was talking about the next big things on the internet and it showed 'The Next Google'.
www.wolframalpha.com
It's a bit of a mouthful just to say, let alone get your head around, but they claim it will be the next big thing.
The site is a search tool that returns facts and figures instead of long lists of results.

I've gone onto the site and I'm not to great with things concerning technology and neither do i claim to be the brightest of sparks - so, personally, i'm a little stumped how this site is going to be the next google.
It's results just seem to pull up some 'facts' and nothing else.

Right now, they claim that their database is a little sparse, but when more information is added it will quickly become the site you turn to when you need answers.


So, anyone else used this yet?
Anyone else stumped like I am?
If not, please, tell me what it's about.
 
Like you said, "its a bit of a mouthful to say" so probably one reason I wont be using it.

Saying "Just Google it" is way easier than "Just wolframalpha it" when trying to help someone find info.

:D
