Introducing Project Zulu

I want to personally and publicly thank Julien, Pradeep and Mike for all of their hard work over the past several months, to make today's launch of Project Zulu a reality. Zulu is a completely free service, open to anyone, which allows people to determine the risk posed by a particular web resource.
