Comment on Wolfram Alpha: An invention that could change the Internet foreverparent

Agree 100%. It's not the "search engine" that matters; it's what will (assuming WA delivers) be built on top of it. Google Maps is pretty good on its own, but to fully appreciate its usefulness you have to look at all the stuff built using its API. Ideally, WA will be as useful and powerful a platform, but without a limited domain like maps.
