As I watched an introductory video for the WolframAlpha launch, my memory raced back to when I first saw the internet in the early 90’s and told my wife how it was going to “change the world”.
WolframAlpha isn’t a search engine like Google, it’s something completely different. In my opinion there is a place for both as they do things differently … but if this gets hold this will change the world. It’s offers a completely revolutionary way of looking at data and for the average person to explore relationships.
As Danny and I discussed today, we can in our heads imagine how the search works at Google, but we have no idea how this works … but it is DAMN AMAZING.
Almost immediately I was Skyping, and twittering my friends telling them to watch the introduction movie.

Go see it now … I think we might just be seeing another billion dollar company in the making… In fact Danny and my prediction is it will take only a couple of years.
Once you’ve done that, go over to Tinker and join the discussion I just started
UPDATE: Oh sorry, I meant to say. Popular rumour is it will launch tomorrow.
