A British physicist, Stephen Wolfram, has announced today that he plans to release a new search engine that is so powerful that it has been suggested by a leading expert as “so powerful, it could be as important as Google. The search engine is due to be released in the next two months ( may 2009 ) and is his attempt to resolve the failures of search engines available today.
“A rival to google” is a big claim to make and this has been claimed by the makers of every search engine released since the boys and girls at the mountain view chocolate factory positioned themselves top of the pile, remember cuil.com anyone?? So we will have to wait and see what happens with Wolfram Alpha, but i do hope they come up with a better name…
