I used both Google and Wolfram on a High School math project (about Archimedean spirals and such) -- Wolfram Alpha gave succinct information. Google gave details. Both were useful. I'm also using it for a statistics project. The comparisions you can do with Wolfram are awesome. Type in "New York City, San Francisco, Taipei" and it gives a triple-city comparison. Type Chicago Bears, and it gives stats I can use on my project. Good stuff. It was slow as heck the first few days but now it's working well. Alpha def. has its strong points.
