Typing "Wolfram Alpha" (with quotes) gives me 243.000 hits, different form all the other numbers. Most of the hits in the first page are in the local language of the searcher. So it is very possible that Ingolf from Sweden sees different hits than David from country X. I for example do not yet see the wikipedia article cited in google yet. Have you noticed that Wolfram/Alpha was not announced in MathGroup by Wolfram? I believe my thread was the first on this topic. WRI is smartly building expectations and interest around Wolfram Alpha. It is funny to think that Wolfram Alpha might do for WRI what the ipod did for Apple: bring the brand into every household. We shall see.
