Last Friday I blogged about Rushmore Drive, but today I came across a slightly different ‘black search engine’. BlackSeeker is a UK based search engine which boasts “100% Google search results” through a greener medium – but by green I mean black…
CRT monitors use 20% less energy to produce white on black than the inverse and the obsidian search engine hopes to make BlackSeeker the homepage of as many internet users as possible to save the planet “…click by click”.
It’s almost a ‘Big Mac and diet-Coke’ scenario, but I believe no small deed goes unrewarded.

What they fail to mention is that the savings are negligible if you use LCD screens (which most people do these days). I found this out when investigating Blackle.com, who are a similar set up to this.
And, unless they are donating their Adsense revenue (all the money they make when you click on their Google Ads) to saving the Amazon, I doubt these guys are in it for the trees.
