My first impression with Wolfram Alpha is mixed. It is not a direct competitor with google. Wikipedia might be more worried with the potential of it.
The search knowledge base is still limited, but if it is there, it is relevant and interesting, generally. It is somewhat like a mathematica online. Mathematica's website has always been a good reference. Traffic might be diverted to wolfram alpha.
Another question I have in mind, is that whether this will evolve into some full-blown web application site, or mathematica online.
I am using sage online as an free/opensource alternative to mathematica. I would like to check the direction of future evolution of wolfram.
To be continued.
