Over the past few months since Wolfram was announced on Techcrunch, the company that wishes to answer user’s semantic questions has decided to keep themselves as closed as possible, until the past week. Until the release of Google’s Public Data Charts, Wolfram kept pretty quiet. On April 28th, Stephen Wolfram presented Wolfram|Alpha to Harvard Law Schools and broadcasted it online. Conviently, Google released its new addition to search by allowing you to see publicly accessible data inside searches, and then compare that data with other sets of data on a graph.

Before the presentation, Wolfram has kept a mailing list, as is common for most pre-release applications, and didn’t send out almost any email through it. The minute they launched however, this changed. In the past week, I’ve received several emails from Wolfram promoting its launch and the presentation at Harvard. But there is a problem:
