Get early access to Wolfram|Alpha now

Much hyped Wolfram|Alpha is due to launch later tonight (or later) but I managed to ‘sneak in via the back-door’… essentially query the site directly by circumventing the holding page.

Here’s a test query to start you off and get you in there: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=who+invented+the+telephone

So far I’m impressed with the Natural Language Processing of plain-text queries and the amount of factual data it has – but I’m not clear where it really adds a lot of value of my life (so far, at least).

Let me know what you think.
