If it works as well as it seems to in the demo, then it looks like a
great tool. It won't significantly compete with Wikipedia, though.
Wikipedia tells you a summary of general information on a certain
subject, this tool is for getting lots of raw data about a certain
subject, or specific question. They aren't performing the same task.
