Default Anyone use wolframalpha?

Stupid name, good concept? It was touted as possibly being a google competitor but doesn't really do it for me. There are some stats that are good to look up, but what do others think?


Wolfram|Alpha

It isn't meant to be a general search engine. It's more of an encyclopedia/calculator.

I use Wolfram's Mathworld all the time. But not so much for woodworking... I'll have to check out the Wolframalpha. Thanks for the head's up.
