Seems Eric has kinda missed the point. From what I've read, Wolfram Alpha is:
- get a bunch of structured, verified, curated data
- use mathematica to understand and reason about the data
- use NLP to expose mathematica to the web surfer.
What google wants to do is get a bunch of structured data from unstructured data. Great, but competition for Wolfram Alpha? Doesn't look like it right now.
But I guess we'll have a better view of this in a few weeks.
