Surprise surprise... has anyone seen this kind of black Google search homepage.
Probably no body in any part of the world have seen this kind except Google search users of UK on Saturday, 29 march 2008.
So, I investigated why the page colour has been changed to black from white. The reason was quite interesting.
Google corp call it as
"turned the light out"
In, Google.co.uk homepage, this was done as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called "EARTH HOUR".
But they admit that it wont save any energy by doing this as now modern displays consumes same amount of energy irrespective of what colour they display.
So on 29 March 2008, Earth Hour invites people aroung the globe to turn off their lights for just one hour from 20:00 to 21:00 hours.
Apart from UK, this event will be held in many cities around the globe.
I am joining this awareness campaign, If you also want to commit to this awareness, try to save energy
