      Google is not scared or nervous about anything. They will just buy whatever they think could become big.

        That search engine doesn't do regular searches. It isn't like Yahoo or MSN and therefor poses no threat to anyone but itself.

              Been waiting about 5 mins now for site to load.

              Maybe they can become a threat when they get off a shared hosting account at webair...

                      I didn't say it was a threat. I said it has the google execs watching it and I imagine has them somewhat nervous. Have you watched the video? It's not a search engine. It's more of an answer engine. Something google can't compete with right now.

                      I'm surprised I'm the only one that thinks this is a very powerful new way to deliver information.

                        I think you have to be an information junky like myself to appreciate how amazing the site is.

                          It would be powerful if I could get to the site.

                            Imagine students doing research. The amount of information this delivers in such a few short seconds is phenomenal.

                            Those of you knocking it. Did you watch the video displaying it's capabilities?

                              They launched last night. I guess they didn't expect the traffic they are at.

                              Pretty sweet to be at 2000 alexa on launch day.

                                            why does my butt itch?

                                            Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input

                                            Though it does know why the sky is blue....

                                            The sky's blue color is a result of the effect of Rayleigh scattering. Shorter-wavelength blue light is more strongly scattered in the earth's atmosphere than longer-wavelength red light; the human eye perceives the color blue when looking at the sky as a result.

                                                    It's running slow because of this:
                                                    http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/05/12/f...ine/index.html

                                                    It was supposed to launch on Monday but because CNN ran this story today, they launched early.

                                                      It's almost like a living/thinking encyclopedia or calculator. Pretty impressive system.

I said it has the google execs watching it and I imagine has them somewhat nervous. Have you watched the video? It's not a search engine. It's more of an answer engine. Something google can't compete with right now.

                                                                                              Between building the best product they can and putting those resources towards infrastructure in the slim narrow chance that CNN might make them a headline.. I think they probably focused on the product.

                                                                                                First they are threat to Wikipedia then to Google. But right now they are not a treat to anything.

                                                                                                Google will not go the answer machine route. There's a lot less money to make there, if anything.

I really doubt they expected to get that much traffic that fast. No start up is prepared for that.
