I was on the JTV chat Friday night, and I for one would like to compliment Stephen Wolfram and everyone involved in turning up Wolfram|Alpha.
It is so easy to send negative comments about thing you do not understand. If ppl would read what Wolfram|Alpha is all about, then they would understand that it is not meant to be another "google" search engine.
Wolfram|Alpha is an intelligent computational engine based on Mathematica.
To get the most out of "Alpha" learn to ask the questions correctly.
This is extremely interesting stuff. Of course they will have hardware/software bugs. I think the system will evolve as time goes by. Good luck to Wolfram.
The website is down most of the time 1 day since the launch. I'm guessing overloading of visitors. Anyway i'm from Singapore. So i hope you guys fix this problem soon. Thanks, great website!
U have no idea how Wolfram|Alpha works. The information is not collected from the web. The databases must be added by people working at Wolfram|Alpha. It just went live and just some general databases are used right now. They will be adding more data to the system with time. So the "cat lifespan"-query will be working later.
You can't expect Wolfram|Alpha to have all knowledge from the beginning.
This has a huge potential, but beware it may become self aware someday. :)

Wolfram Alpha is an epic fail when you look up things not related to numbers.

Nice. If you can setup a wrapper over a 'google' search engine and mix that in, especially when you have no W/A results, you'll be on fire.

WolframAlpha is an epic fail! I'm not only getting a lot of errors but the usefulness of results is so bad.
Try: What is the lifespan of a cat? or "Cat age"
