Virus creator takes on Google

The man, who is credited with creating the first computer virus Rick Skrenta, is working on a project that he believes will bring Google to their knees. But taking on worlds top search engine at their own game is not going to be an easy task, so why would think that he even stands a chance?

Well he may have been a rebel but he also has a cause, being a co-founder of the Open Directory Project, and also the news site Topix. So put this experience, $2 million seed money and a team of six other like minded people working in true start up style out of a garage and you have got to give them at least a fighting chance.

So we will be watching out for Blekko with interest.
