The first query most reviewers tried on Wolfram Alpha was typing their own name into it, and they've gotten lousy results. Well, that's a good thing. Since you're probably not in WA's database, it does not try to pull the result from thin air; it simply says it has no information on you. This makes Google vastly better for actually searching the web; but it also gives a certain advantage to Wolfram Alpha: it's precise. You don't have to worry about getting the wrong information; you can rely on Wolfram Alpha to either give you the right answer (depending, of course, on the accuracy of its own index), or no answer at all.
This can have important implications on the way we conduct searches. We're used to approximate results, and thus we often try to round up numbers to get a better chance of finding an answer. On Wolfram Alpha, you can type in very precise queries, which can ultimately save you a lot of time.
