My first impression is that google and Wolfram Alpha are completely different. The following article will show my first attempts and the results.
After my first three questions to Wolfram Alpha I was totally disappointed about Wolfram Alpha. Sure I handled Wolfram Alpha like google and I believe everybody will do that by the first try. So my first question was
“cheapest mp3 player”

Today I saw a interesting map on the page of informationarchitects.jp. The WEB Trend Map 2009. This japanese company publishes every year this map with the most important Internet domains and the most important Internet personalities. The nice idea was to map the domains and personalities on a map of the Tokyo subway system.

Facebook
The question is” How to make your blog more visible in the net ?” One of the first steps I made to promote my blog was to publish my posts at facebook and myspace. There are many different ways to do this but only a view of this possibilities are really satisfactory.
The basic condition for publishing your blog is to have a RSS feed or a ATOM feed on the blog.
You can find a couple Facebookapplications that imports RSS feeds to Facebook. For example RSS-connect, Simply RSS and Blog RSS Feed Reader.
