Someone may ask “what is Wolfram Alpha?”, well, as current situation, WA may not be as famous as Google is, but it definitely searches better, like what they said – “Making the world's knowledge computable”.

Basically, WA is just another search engine, but this one is different, instead of showing you a mass of links, WA give you the direct answer of your question. It raise your search experience to semantic understanding level. See an example:

Live video feed from their control center:

Watch live video from Wolfram|Alpha on Justin.tv

Something still needs to be improved:
1.    WA is not displayed normally in my Firefox, however, in IE, it’s OK. I think WA team should take non-IE browsers support into consideration.
2.    WA exceed its max load easily, but I think it’s still in the test, I’m sure it will be better when final version is online.
3.    WA doesn't support non-English search right now. What's more, when I try to search Chinese, it tells me, WA doesn't support JAPANESE.
4.    WA needs a dazzle name. Obviously, Wolfram Alpha is not so easy to remember. How about Woogle?
