If you have not tried Wolfram Alpha you should. It takes a while to get your head around how it can be useful to you but it has a huge potential. Simple things like finding the nearest weather monitoring station to you automatically when you type in 'weather'. Mainly computational but fascinating once you start...
From the site:
"Wolfram|Alpha's long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone."
"As of now, Wolfram|Alpha contains 10+ trillion of pieces of data, 50,000+ types of algorithms and models, and linguistic capabilities for 1000+ domains. Built with Mathematica—which is itself the result of more than 20 years of development at Wolfram Research—Wolfram|Alpha's core code base now exceeds 5 million lines of symbolic Mathematica code. Running on supercomputer-class compute clusters, Wolfram|Alpha makes extensive use of the latest generation of web and parallel computing technologies, including webMathematica and gridMathematica."
There is much, much more... e.g., here.
Also, I believe that ShiftSpace has a lot going for it once you realise what it is about and what it can do.
