Blackle -- Heard of this…..?

Blackle is nothing but a black version of google.

"A few months ago, TreeHugger Mark Ontkush wrote a post on his blog
EcoIron
titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year. The post
lays out
the following train of thought. "An all white web page uses about 74 watts
to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts." Google, which has
a white background and gets about "200 million queries a day" could reduce
global energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the
color
of its homepage to black.


In response to this post a black version of Google emerged called
Blackle.com. According to Blackle's homepage at publication time,
4,408.917
Watt hours have been saved by. Nice ideas. But how does the search measure
up? Very well indeed. Give it a whirl yourself and start saving energy one
search at a time. :: Blackle.com

I recommend you all to use this as your home page or default search
engine.
Kindly pass this on to people you know and spread the word.
So here's your site: http://www.blackle.com/

Thanks,
