We already have and heavily use Google, Wikipedia, and Dictionary.com. Just arrived: Wolfram/Alpha. It's not quite like any of the others, and it will take a while to instinctively choose it for just the right kind of thing. It seems at first blush to be about rapidly finding and comparing quantifiable information. Browsing the examples will help. Yes, it is way more nerdy than the others, which is fine by me.
