Open Source Search

Jimmy Wales the founder of Wikipedia has launched a new project known as the Open Source Search Engine - Grub. Part of the reason for the surprised move is the discomfort of Google and its foothold on the internet, according to Jimmy Wales, the Grub crawler is based on LookSmart and they’ve just launch a tool for both Linux and Windows and pretty much like Wikipedia, anyone and everyone can be part of the community by contributing their computer resources when it is in ideal mode.

Grub looks really interesting, and should be fantastic. I doubt it will be a threat to Google anytime soon.
