Are you wolfing tonight? Not yet the title of a new pop song, but wolfing (or walphing) is the new thing to do on the net. Not necessarily lonesome. Wolfram|Alpha went live in test mode at 8:48pm CST on Friday 15th May. While its fictional "city" cousin HAL comes from Urbana, W/A is perhaps more "rural" coming from Champaign :-) It can't yet play chess and hasn't killed anybody yet, but it's nevertheless a killer app. It is bringing lots of people in contact with Mathematica technology and this might mean wider use of Mathematica in due time. For us, Mathematica users, W/A integration in our notebooks means curated data to the n-th power. Take note of David Reiss W/A tool (mentioned in another 3d) and of the W/A toolbar for your browser available on the W/A site.
