I was given a link today by one of my lecturers which i thought was pretty cool, dunno how i didn’t stumble upon it earlier though, maybe you guys have.
It’s one of those ‘why didn’t i think of that’ moments where i start kicking myself. The site/idea would take like 5 minutes to put up, and it’s a current PR6, 5k Alexa Rank etc..
It’s basically a black google – no, not in the racist sense, but in the literal sense
Our monitors all have ‘dots’ or ‘pixels’ in them, millions of them. If you turn all the pixels off, it saves a tiny bit of energy and the pixels will appear as black. Some genius did the math and reckoned a black google would save thousands of $$$$$ per year.
So here we have it, blackle.com
The energy efficient google. Pretty cool i have to say, even though it took 2 minutes to throw up the site and non of it is original
