My preferred method of retrieving data using natural language queries is by using virginal priestesses that live in mountain temples. Their services do indeed cost me a goat, require me to participate in ritual cleansing, fasting, abstention from all sexual activity and avoiding touching unclean women for up to two weeks, but there is the added advantage of my being able to receive my data in dactylic hexameter with complex rhyme schemes.

WOlframAlpha is near complete crap. I've tried around 40 queries so far and none of them have been great. Maybe 10 were OK, rest just plain awful.

So far, this service is a giant fail.

I love it. It's like a really smart calculator. Unfortunately, it's not robust enough to answer the questions that I need answered with any great frequency. Give it some time and some input from the humanities community and it will get there.

@i'm a bottle: The weather data is golden as is the demographics stuff. I love how they spit out the charts automatically for you.

To be honest, the only hype I read about this was a gushing piece by one Owen Thomas. Not surprised it ended this way.

The problem is the damn ".0" Where was Web 2.3, eh? It should just be Web I, Web II, etc. It sends a message about unnecessary trendiness in technology forecasting and is easier to carve on Doric architecture.

Check out his latest tweet:

"Still love Twitter. Only flaw for now is that tweets are not on search engines. The money is with AdSense etc. However, big ups overall."

LOL! This guy is as dumb as a bag of hammers.

the information in those documents will have to be turned into data that a machine can read and evaluate on its own

So.... thinking machines will have to happen BEFORE you can start making money on the internet. Ladies and Gentlemen: THE WORST BUSINESS MODEL OF ALL TIME.
