Blackle – Energy Saving Search
Blackle – Energy Saving Search
Someone told me about this interesting site at school today. The idea behind the site is that it is more efficient to display black on a computer monitor than it is to display white. The people who created the site then applied this to google, they created a custom search page that is google but in black, the results page is even black. The site is limiting in that you can not do video or image searches or other google things. They do have international versions as well. The idea overall being that even though the energy savings for one visit to blackle instead of google are minimal, when you considder the amount of hits google gets the savings would be large.

I prefer using Darkoogle http://www.darkoogle.com another black Google and is available in over 40 countries http://www.darkoogle.com/international
Best of all its got the ’similar page’ option in the result page like the normal white Google. I use that a lot.

There are around 17 different versions of “black google” online. The best one I’ve found is http://www.cleanblack.com. Cleanblack is the only version that allows you to change the text colors of the google search results. Try it yourself by going to http://www.cleanblack.com/theme/
