Partners | Microsoft's Bing and Google's previous rival - Wolfram Alpha

Published | 11.05, 12th of November 2009, by Paul Butler | SEO

Bing has joined forces with Google's early rival Wolfram Alpha, in a bid to deliver a more specific Search Engine result rather than the typical link list. Unlike other search engines, Wolfram's computational knowledge engine is thought to offer more specific answers to questions such as the height of St Paul's Cathedral or the current total for the Earth's population.

Microsoft's new partnership with Steven Wolfram's creation will roll out in the USA initially but it has a long way to go if it is to compete seriously with the industry leader. Despite Bing's increasing popularity Google still maintains a 70.6% share of the overall search engine market.
