Forty years ago it was recognized that the detection of high energy (>~TeV) neutrinos from astronomical sources would require the construction of a device with 1 gigaton (or 1 cubic kilometer of ice) of target material. This idea is now becoming a reality at the South Pole with the construction of IceCube. Detection of extraterrestrial high energy neutrinos will open new avenues in astrophysics and neutrino physics. A positive observation of neutrinos in coincidence with a GRB would identify these objects as one the source of the highest energy cosmic rays and would provide invaluable information about the processes responsible for GRBs.
In this paper I summarize the results from searches for neutrinos from GRBs with IceCube and its predecessor, AMANDA. I review the status of the construction and operation of IceCube. Finally, I outline future directions for IceCube, in particular in searches of neutrinos from GRBs reported by Fermi.
