Wolfram Alpha

What is this about Wolfram Alpha, a so to speak Google killer? With some background you understand that search will be boosted as this search engine tries to implement semantics into your search. Still, you need to have the right questions. I think that is the tricky part. If you do not know what you are looking for or if you do not even want to know…no search enginge will be able to help you. Well, there could be a question engine coming up as 3rd generation.

Pipl are people

Seen some tools, but that people search site is not that bad.
Das Ding rockt schon ganz gut in der Beta…

Such, Maschine, such.

Heutige Suchmaschinen sind so blöd wie Make-up-Werbung auf RTL. Das soll sich ändern. In Zukuft sollen die Fragen der User verstanden werden. Sagt die Welt. Räusper: Vielleicht liegt es auch daran, dass User nicht die richtigen Fragen kennen? Zwölf Minuten dauert eine Google-Search-Sitzung derzeit. Eine durchschnittliche Surf-Session dauert sieben Minuten. Die restlichen fünf Minuten könnten ein “öhhhhhh” sein.

Google moves up

Now, who is ruling the search market in US? Right, and who has won more users during the last months? Right. And who tried to get closer and buy the third player? Right? Must be frustrating for Fabrice Canel (Sorry, insider joke).

 

But be sure that “search” will mean other items as well in future. Google startet voice search on videos of US-politicans. Haven`t said that will become harder. Competition for others than Google, too.
