Goo What...Goofram

Now I know what you are thinking...why do all these things have weird names?  Goofram is a combination of Google and Wolfram Alpha.  I don't think I need to explain what Google is, but I might need to explain Wolfram Alpha.

Wolfram Alpha is a search engine like you are not used to.  When you search something, it doesn't give you sites to go to, but rather information about that topic you have entered.  For example, if I put in Abe Lincoln, I am going to get results that show me biographical information about Abe Lincoln, not sites to go to.  If I search a math equation, it gives me the answer, plots it for me, etc...  This is a great tool for Math or Science.  If you don't check out Wolfram Alpha, tell someone about it, because it is a pretty cool tool.

Explanation of Wolfram Alpha


Goofram brings Google and Wolfram Alpha together.  You can see your search results on the left side of the screen, and see the Wolfram Alpha results on the right side of the screen.  I think I have found my new search engine (even though Google Chrome as eliminated the need to go to the actual search engine page).  Check out Wolfram Alpha before you check out Goofram.

P.S. Sorry this post was a little later than usual...Got a little tied up after school :)
