Our team is hard at work going through the tens of thousands of comments, suggestions, and questions coming in about Wolfram|Alpha.
We thought you’d enjoy hearing Stephen Wolfram respond to some of this feedback directly.
This Thursday, June 4, at 4 pm US CDT, we invite you to join us for a live webcast as Stephen answers some of the questions you’ve sent in. He’ll discuss the problems, the fixes, the future, and more.
If you have a question you’d like Stephen to answer, post it as a comment to this blog post.
We’ll also be taking questions live on the justin.tv chat during the webcast.
Thanks again for all of your interest and support. We look forward to sharing this live webcast with you.
How quickly will Wolfram Alpha expand beyond its focus on scientific/technical data?
What do you think about Google Squared?
its very nice and amazing.
Say I wanted to know the mean/average price of a vehicle or home in a particular zip code… So I ask W.A “Average price of new Honda Accord in 75006″ Are you thinking that this the type of information that W.A will eventually be able to answer? Thanks,
what s price of this vehicle?
When will Alpha support compound questions, where you’re really computing knowledge? Like say “Year of birth of the director of ET” or “San Francisco to London at cruise speed of a Boeing 747″.
How come that Wolfram Alpha doesn’t seem to have access to the information at mathworld.wolfram.com?
(At the moment, Alpha fails for most of these queries that combine several bits of knowledge, including those mentioned.)
What do you think about Google Squared?
what do you need google squared to solve?
Do you plan on allowing features such as processing of chemical reactions at some point? Say for example: react Hydrogen and Oxygen giving the answer of water?
Hi all at W¦A,
do ip addresses get kept with each search [as for google] ?
if yes, do the secret services get a free look… ?
if no, well done in preserving at least some of our freedoms.
how do events get answered if there are 2 conflicting accounts of the same thing ?
[ie wtc collapse - melting point steel compared to burning temp of aviation fuel].
‘false flag [operation]‘ gave no result on search …
liked the webcast just now…
Buenas tardes amigos,
Sr. Krasnopolsky, con todo respeto le digo que su respuesta “LAS CIENCIAS Y LAS TECNOLOGIAS SON EN INGLES”, dista mucho de ser la apropiada, correcta y humilde. Las mathematicas; bien podría ser la respuesta a tal cuestionamiento y el exito de esta herramienta que se nos ofrece esta en buena parte en funcion de lo universal que sea para que TODOS accesen a ella. Google y Yahoo como motores de busqueda reconocidos mundialmente, lo son porque se puede accesar a ellos en practicamnete todo el mundo. Sin embargo grandes descubrimientos tecnológicos y científicos no son privativos de personas de habla inglesa, sino tambien de lengua alemana, rusa, japonesa, etc. El que se domine el ingles y alguna otras lengua no es una condicion ni privilegio para ser tan radicale y arrogante ante la nesecidad de muchas personas en el mundo que tienen el deseo de saber mas.
Will the webcast be put up somewhere now that it’s done?
How will Wolfram Alpha verify the scientific data and its sources before it uses the pools of ’scientific’ data for generating and deducing/inducing information? How will it deal with conflicting data?
Good Luck and keep striving to provide us with a speedy and efficient website to answer our questions no matter how ridiculous some of them will be.
How to make to your team. I very interesting about your search engine
Will wolframalpha answer answers like…. ?
A has only one friend named B.
What is the name of A’s friend?
I’ve just see the webcast! Thank you Steven for answering my question!
I can’t wait until API release!
Great job people!
Must Traawan that Google has proved itself in the area of the Internet in a short period of time and several options for the user ..
Ntmy anything to monopolize the contrary, we are stabilizing and that the search engine in the new .
It looks like a very reddit-user focused website. More science and technology than anything else. Are you looking to expand?
SERIA BUENO QUE EXISTIERA UNA VERSION EN ESPAÑOL DE WOLFRAM ALPHA PARA TODOS LOS PARLANTES DE ESTE IDIOMA CREO QUE ESTOY DE ACUERDO CON JULIO EN EL COMENTARIO QUE HACE EN ESTE FORO, GRACIAS.
Hi
I have a question:-
When will you be up and running.
Keep on man!!! I have the best regards with you. And tell me when u will be up and running???
Thank you for inviting me to discuss
I hope your version of the Arabic language
And spatial translation sites
when it can support Chinese language: GB/Big5
I really like your post. Does it copyright protected?
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
How fast flies the Earth in Space ?

I wasn’t able to join the JustinTV chat.
what do you need google squared to solve
thanks for invited but we are late. if he join another talk, ? have to be on there
