Obviously working on a search engine myself I do have bias towards new engines, but for the hype I don't think WA really shocked me. I agree about sources not being linked to. To me if I was to do research and then place WA as the source I think it would raise quite a few eyebrows. I think however WA has attempted to do something different, and I'm sure it's a push for Google & other engines. I know for a fact that MSE360 will now try harder to really provide out of the box data like WA (and to a lesser extent Google) does. It's not as early days as WA would like you to think, I mean they have had years creating this project and many before that working on their software range, I think it's becoming an excuse to easily. MSE360 is 6 months old, 7 is you count the first month of programming. WA tried to hype itself too much, and then just before launch they tried to kill that hype. Nice read you have there!
