Rich Skrenta, who created the first computer virus
(Elk Cloner), co-founded the Open Directory Project, and co-founded online news site
Topix, is taking on Google.

He founded Blekko, an internet search engine that was in
stealth mode as of 5/14/08.

Skrenta says they’ll launch a full scale search engine
to compete with the big guys. The Blekko website

Elk Cloner was created in 1982 by Rich Skrenta, a 15-year-old high school student.
Skrenta was already distrusted by his friends because, in illegally sharing
computer games and software, he would often alter the floppy disks to shut
down or display taunting on-screen messages. They became distrustful of him,
so Skrenta thought of methods to alter floppy disks without physically touching them.
During a winter break from the Mt. Lebanon High School in Pennsylvania, United
States, Skrenta discovered how to launch the messages automatically on his
Apple II computer. He developed what is now known as a boot sector virus,
and began circulating it in early 1982 among high school friends and a local
computer club. 25 years later in 2007, Skrenta called it "some dumb little practical joke."
