It's tonight. Readwriteweb has a pretty good overview of the event, including this:
- Wolfram Alpha is not a general purpose search engine - it does not directly compete with Google and if you treat it like Google, you will inevitably be disappointed
- check out the copious amount of examples from the homepage - they will give you a good idea for the type of queries that Alpha can handle best
- here is one thing we can almost guarantee: you will be disappointed at first (especially if you were expecting a Google killer)
- Alpha is a great tool, but it takes some time to learn about its limits and strengths. Unlike Google, some searches simply won't return any result at all
