Less than a month before Wolfram Research, presented an API for numbering machine knowledge (knowledge computational engine) Tungsten. The day before yesterday and presented an interface for the first serious partner - Microsoft's search engine Bing. Fruit co Wolfram and Microsoft will be able to see in the next few days to live Bingu, although initially only in the American version of the service.

Microsoft has not fully joined, however, possible tool Tungsten | Alpha to its search engine, but decided at the beginning to help solve homework and "hard math" - we learn from the blog Bing. And another issue was important for the corporation from Redmond: healthy eating. The explanatory memorandum says that each year about 90 million Americans are on a diet, so the information about the calorie and fat content in some foods have a unique interest. Hence, when searching for specific products Bingu service will be in a separate tab to display a summary of all important nutrients. After entering the phrase "bmi calculator" will be even interactive BMI calculator (Body Mass Index), in which fields the user will be able to give weight and growth - Tungsten | Alpha already has such a function.

Cooperation of both companies is not surprising, because in August there were rumors about it. Not yet known whether the cooperation lay at the root of announcements and then launch a search engine Tungsten, or simply the company of the time ripe for decision. One thing is certain: since then, and the like search engine marketing web services have again accelerated.

Also, since yesterday, Google has something new to offer. Option to retrieve data collected by official institutions such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau's Population Division has been extended by the World Bank resources. It's about access to the 17 indicators of development of individual countries, including those on carbon dioxide emissions, the cost of reinforcement in relation to GDP and life expectancy.
