Online Public Relations Thoughts

This may be the newest and best search engine on the market, but only time will tell. What is known is that it has been flacked for the last three months with ever-increasing expectations about its abilities. The introduction smacks of Segway's build-up but for the fact that Wolfram Alpha was touted as a search engine from the start while Segway remained a mystery.

I look forward to using the engine to see if it is all that it is said to be, but I'm wary because of the amount of advanced publicity. On the other hand, Stephen Wolfram has long been acknowledged as brilliant, and he has a record of making groundbreaking products.
