Blackle

Today, I’ve taken you directly to Blackle’s About page. The reason I did that is because they can explain their goals for their search engine far better than I ever could. Allow me to sum it up for you though. That way, you’re at least not going to the Web site without a clue as to what's it's talking about.

Basically, the whole concept of this site is to inform you that if you use Blackle to search the Internet, you’ll save energy. On the About page, you’ll also find a link to tips on how to save energy, as well as, the tiny link at the bottom, which takes you to the Blackle FAQ page.

Are you ready to head on over to the main page? If so, just click on the Blackle logo at the top of the page. You’ll be presented with the search engine, along with the counter for how many watt hours have been saved. You can use it just like you would a normal search engine, as it is powered by the Google Custom Search.

For example, I typed in "chili" and clicked Search. My results came up and the only difference is they were on a black background with gray text.

Now, quite frankly, I love Blackle! It is my new search engine of choice, because I despise white screens. They usually hurt my eyes with their glare, but this one is easy to read and it has no glare.

So, check it out today and see what you think!
