MySpace joins Google

Yeah, MySpace joins google alliance. People say this alliance is to counter Facebook.

MySpace and Bebo, two of the world’s largest social networking sites, on Thursday joined a Google-led alliance that is promoting a common set of standards for software developers to write programs for social networks.

The alliance now presents a powerful counterweight to Facebook, which, after opening up its site to developers last spring, has persuaded thousands of them to create programs for its users. The addition of MySpace, the world’s largest social network with 110 million active members, and Bebo, the No. 1 site in Britain with 39 million active users, could also put pressure on Facebook to drop its own standard and join the alliance, called OpenSocial.

Blackle - Energy Saving Search

How do u save energy while searching?? Yeah obviously i am talking about the display energy of the monitor :)

Blackle does save the energy while searching. Blackle was created by HeapMedia

Blackle searches are powered by Google Custom Search. When enter any text for search, it will go via google only. Check the address bar, u will see a google.com address there.

Why did they come up with such an energy saving idea?

"Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen."

How does it help?

When u make this page as your home page, every time you load the Internet browser a small amount of energy is saved.

For more info on the energy saving, click here

After all, its a small step in saving energy.
