This is a new search engine for those of us who prefer white characters on black. It was actually created to save energy. When your screen is white, being it an empty word page, or the Google page, your computer consumes 74 watts, and when it is black it consumes only 59 watts. Mark Ontkush suggested the energy savings this would bring about. Heap Media created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version of Google. The purpose is to remind all of us of the need to take small steps in our everday lives to conserve energy. Check it out at Blackle.com

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI prefer http://www.keepglobe.com over Blackle. They donate 50% of revenue to a green cause and it is hosted on a server that is powered by wind and sun energy. They also have an image search. Black search engines do not save energy as they claim and also my eyes twitch after seeing that black background.
I would agree http://www.keepglobe.com is much better over Blackle. What it doesn’t do to your eyes is a +
