Blackle is okay. The big problem they have is the colour scheme. To tiring for the eyes.

Try ggl.me and you will feel the difference.

Not only you will help the environment, but you will releave your eyestrain too.

There are around 16 different versions of “black google” online. The best one I’ve found is 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 www.cleanblack.com/theme/

I think that Google with a black colour will be much dispiriting.

I prefer using www.Darkoogle.com as their text are green which reduce eye strain. So instead of saving energy from our monitor, it also save our user's eye energy.

Some people may find it uncomfortable reading light text on a black background. They might find Greygle to be a better choice for them. It uses a grey background with dark text which they might find easier to read. This still allows for some energy savings while providing an easier reading experience.

www.blackgoogle.co.uk does something very similar (and looks much nicer).

With reference to your article on Blackle in the Hindustan time, you might want to note that Blackle is just the first page of www.searchincolor.com, a site which has offered google search in color since a very long time. There are other color combinations out there...in general a dark background with light text-which are also energy saving.

Obviously, this is NOT associated with Google, as the viral email indicated.
