Blackle - Energy Saving Search

Google is the second brain for many coders hungry for information. I as a coder cannot imagine a single day at work without Google. Few days back (22 April to be precise), it was Earth's day and I was wondering how we as coders can do our bit for our planet and fight against Global Warming. So I thought I would blog about Blackle :-)

The idea behind Blackle: Google uses white background which consumes more power, and considering the huge number of queries Google gets (about 200 million each day), according to calculations, a black version of Google would save 750 mega watts / hour per year.

So next time you want to search for information, try http://www.blackle.com :-) For more info on Blackle, visit http://www.blackle.com/about

Also help spread the word about Blackle by telling your coder friends about it, ask them to blog about Blackle incase they have a blog ;-)

Cheers,
Raj
