Blackle? Green Spider?

November 12, 2007 By: Calley Pate3 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to have new content delivered to your inbox! I hope to see you on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I have a lot of information on rock painting and cloth diapers in my archives if you're interested! Thanks for visiting!

Nice to see you again! Hope you're having a fabulous day! Can I help you with anything? Contact Me!

I recently signed up to get daily green tips from the fine folks at www.idealbite.com and I got a really interesting one today.  Have you ever heard of Blackle or Green Spider?  I’m guessing you probably haven’t.  Well according the the Department of Energy computers use less energy when they are displaying a dark background.  The normal white background that is on most standard websites usues 74 watts of power; while a black background only uses 59 watts of power.  That’s a 20% savings in energy just by using a dark background.  www.blackle.com is a Google equivelant that is all black.  I actually liked www.thegreenspider.com a little better because green and blue are a little easier on the eyes.  This same idea holds true with email backgrounds, screensavers and more.  Maybe my next step will be to finding a nice dark background for this blog.

By the way, I have several really good questions being emailed to me to address in a future blog.  If you have anything you want me to discuss please email me and let me know.  I also value your comments on those blogs that I post, if you like it or hate it…leave me a comment and tell me why.  Thanks for reading!

    Cool sites, but Blackle may be using MORE energy than a white Google or other search engine.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Syp4uzvcSoI prefer using Greenle to make sure I help the planet

    So I’m not sure about this last comment but it does make me want to do some new research on the use of different colored backgrounds. In the YouTube message he is using an LCD screen for the demonstration and is trying to sell a product. It’s worth a watch…but I’m still not convinced about Blackle, GreenSpider or this Greenle site. Remember, they are all getting paid by Google to use their search engine.
