Rumor: Bing and Wolfram Alpha Strike a Search Deal
If a new blog post at TechCrunch is true (and that's generally about a 50/50 chance), then Bing has struck yet another search deal - this time with Wolfram Alpha. According to the rumor, Bing would make use of Wolfram Alpha to incorporate structured data to its search offering.
Hmm, who else is going after structured data? Oh right, Google with its oh-so-flawed Google Squared.
While I'm sure all the geeks at Microsoft could have coded up a worthy structured data feature, it's smarter, easier and quite possibly faster just to partner up with Wolfram Alpha.
However, Microsoft would not confirm the rumor. So stay tuned!

I hope W|A can pull through and become relevant. There’s a lot of confusion out there about what W|A actually is. I made a little ditty to help people understand it. Check it out: http://www.nutintuit.com/video.....a-nutshell

Every search engine which came to market have new idea and revolutionary concepts but people does not use it at all. Why, because there is search experience on Google and similar search engines. Everybody have interest to new search engine then try it and go back to old habits.
