If I don't make mistake the Grub project has been discontinued by LookSmart:
| Quote: | Chart the Web (and More) with Grub
Grub is a revolutionary distributed computing platform, capable of efficiently crawling the web from a large number of diverse client machines and performing any kind of page-level analysis, using otherwise unused bandwidth and compute cycles. Moreover, the software is modular and can be used for other arbitrary work units, making Grub a robust general purpose distributed computing platform.
Grub operated for years as a volunteer project, sponsored by LookSmart, Ltd. Thousands of clients ran for long periods of time, crawling and analyzing billions of web pages on a frequent basis. This extended trial period proved the concept and the underlying robustness of the platform.
The Grub crawling project is no longer operational. Inquiries about the Grub distributed computing software should be directed to: LookSmart, Ltd |
It's a bit sad because it was a great idea with a lot of potential like you said, ... may be one day this idea will rise again
