It's not a question of whether the glass is half full or half empty but rather if there is anything in the glass worth drinking.

Aside from casual users who tweet about their inane daily activities there are professional Social Media Promoters hard at work attempting to gain followers for their clients and influence casual users. These advocates are now often competing with each other in a way that shifts the focus from the client and or business to themselves by attempting to craft a more personal and engaging twitter voice at the expense of focused content. The end result is more ‘noise’ and diluted content rather than concise targeted information. An analogy provided by an average Twitter user clarifies my point. When signing up to receive email from a business and/or topic of interest you expect to receive info on that specific business and/or topic. When you receive something either loosely associated and/or completely unrelated it’s simply spam and time to unsubscribe from that list. The same holds true for Twitter. When tweets lose sharp focus it’s time to unfollow. This is where following those who tend to retweet only the strongly related, actionable materials becomes a good alternative as such users act as twitter ‘spam’ filters.

A singular vision regarding initial intrigue, extended evaluation and steady withdrawal. Flashes of specific images provide focus while related and duplicate visions simultaneously shift at multiple speeds and in opposing directions, evoking the tenuous, transforming nature of relationships. Sounds from nature, localized as well as reference audio sources combined with atonal resonance convey a myriad of emotions and outline the relationship structure. These transitional moments (drive) allow us to examine incomplete, and at times inconceivable, interconnections between ourselves and others.

Wolfram|Alpha Launches . . .

Making the world’s knowledge computable. Wolfram|Alpha introduces a fundamentally new way to get knowledge and answers— not by searching the web, but by doing dynamic computations based on a vast collection of built-in data, algorithms, and methods.

Goals Wolfram|Alpha's long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything. Our goal is to build on the achievements of science and other systematizations of knowledge to provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to factual queries. Wolfram|Alpha aims to bring expert-level knowledge and capabilities to the broadest possible range of people—spanning all professions and education levels.

Our goal is to accept completely free-form input, and to serve as a knowledge engine that generates powerful results and presents them with maximum clarity.  Wolfram|Alpha is an ambitious, long-term intellectual endeavor that we intend will deliver increasing capabilities over the years and decades to come. With a world-class team and participation from top outside experts in countless fields, our goal is to create something that will stand as a major milestone of 21st century intellectual achievement.
