Blackle & Blackoogle

**Post Name Changed and Info. Updated**

**New** Dratz…maybe it doesn’t save that much energy. But it IS cool looking.

From an email I just received:

If Google had a black screen, taking into account the huge number of times this search engine is used, 750 mega watts/hour of energy per year would be saved. In recognition of this fact, Google has created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but with lower energy consumption. Bookmark it today and pass it along: www.blackle.com

www.blackle.com

See, not everything is all about race. Hee Hee.

UPDATE - Blackle not created by Google: More about Blackle

    There are around 25 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/
