Word in two different blog posts that some Wolfram|Alpha data and functionality will be available on Bing very soon.
Key Points from the Wolfram|Alpha Blog Post
Starting today, Wolfram|Alpha’s knowledge, computed from expertly curated data, will enrich Bing’s results in select areas across nutrition, health, and advanced mathematics.
You will begin to see the benefits of this unique partnership over the next several days as we roll it out in the US.
Specifically, we will bring nutritional information and tools into Bing’s search results, as well as some straight up hard math and homework help.
Examples of what Bing will provide include:
+ Nutrition Information (W|A version)
+ Interactive Body Mass Index Calculator (W|A Version)
+ “Complex Math Functions” and Knowledge About Unique Math Concepts”
Bing is one of the first commercial customers of the Wolfram|Alpha API. Btw, the blog post also contains a funny story involving Stephen Wolfram and Bill Gates.
