Full Description:
Wolfram|Alpha is a site you really need to experience to understand. Dubbed a "computational engine," Wolfram|Alpha takes a variety of inputs and will calculate results based on the most likely interpretation of the data. On a simple side, you can ask Wolfram|Alpha for data about a name, date or location. It can also compare results, compute formulas and equations and provide historical data.
Please Note:
Wolfram|Alpha can be hard to understand conceptually. The introduction from Stephen Wolfram is lengthy, but provides a great overview of what types of searches/comparisons you can do as well as how to frame your requests.
