Funnily enough a conversation broke out in the office the other day about who or what could dislodge Google from its position of dominance. IBM ruled the technology world in the 80s, Microsoft in the 90s and Google rules in the noughties.No sooner had we finished the conversation (ok, some poetic licence there) but I spotted this article about a web tool that "could be as important as Google". Wolfram Alpha is a free online tools that aims to answer questions directly, rather than display web pages in response to a query like a search engine. It's launching in May 2009.
Only time will tell whether it's got the power to ultimately challenge Google. But you heard it here first.
