Facebook, Wolfram|Alpha, StealthStartup. Will the next Google Killer stand up please.

Exciting times we are living in. Technology and the web are evolving at a speed never seen before and we can’t even imagine which tools and services will be available to us in a couple of years time.

Anyway, today I simply wanted to link to two blog posts, both announcing the next Google Killer. First, we have my friend Julius who is proclaiming that Facebook is soon going to eat Google’s lunch. And then there is Stephen Wolfram and his team who apparently came up with something that “could be as important as Google“, a computing machine called Wolfram|Alpha.

Personally I think that neither of those is going to be THE Google Killer, but that we are in a transition to a completely new way we interact with the internet and our social circle using technology. If you look at numbers such as the fact that around 20% of all servers that are sold each year are bought by Google, Yahoo, Amazon and Microsoft (add Facebook to that list soon) tell you that we’re onto something big. And it’s certainly not just about desktop apps like Word to the cloud.

With all that uncertainty, I’m happy that there is still one constant: Sex sells!
