[LM_NET] Forget everything you thought you knew about search engines!

[Art Wolinsky <awolinsky@3DWRITING.COM>]

Excuse the cross-posts, but this is well worth it!

In a few weeks, WolframAlpha will launch. Searching and research will 
never be the same.  If you don't know about Stephen Wolfram's 
Computational Knowledge Engine, you had better get up to speed 
quickly.  If it took you a while to get up to speed with the kids 
copy and paste adventures, you ain't seen nuttin yet! I've been 
online since 1980, beginning with computer bulletin boards and 
NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING has impressed me more than what I saw at a 
sneak peek of WolframAlpha at Harvard's Berkman Center on 4/28.  The 
implications for education and research are staggering!

Hundreds of bloggers have reported on it and I just put up a blurb, a 
link to more information, and pointer to a video of the demo.

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.
I will surely learn a great deal today.
