At Long Last, The Secret To Killing Google Revealed (Hint: It's Simpler Than You Think)

Actually, it’s simplicity.

That was how Google’s John Nicoletti responded to some panel discussion that the next big “Google killer” could be super secret search beta WolframAlpha.

Nicoletti said the early read on the project is that it’s so complicated that you need to be a PHD in mathematics to figure out how to use it.

Even SIS chairman Gord Hotchkiss still isn’t on the beta â€" though he says he’s awaiting an acceptance from the beta team anytime soon.

“If there is ever going to be a Google killer, it is going to be something that makes these easier, not more difficult,” Nicoletti predicted.
