Interesting concept, indeed. Where did you hear about that? Looks like the site just launched on the 24th.
I've seen a few sites like this - some that almost exactly mimick Google. I guess if Google were being picky they could get awkward, but at the end of the day anyone who uses that site is adding traffic to Google anyway.
its using google custom search, so it is google. They probably have the adsense account attached to it and make a handsome proffit if they get enough searches each day. Pierce
Ummm... Interesting... I have seen some site similar to google even looks were the same also the domain name was almost similar to google.com donno what happened to that site
I've heard about this site too.. saves energy eh? I can't remember.. but there was quite a shocking statistic about how much energy is used just from the google white background lol (does anyone have these stats?)
"Take at look at Google, who gets about 200 million queries a day. Let's assume each query is displayed for about 10 seconds; that means Google is running for about 550,000 hours every day on some desktop. Assuming that users run Google in full screen mode, the shift to a black background will save a total of 15 (74-59) watts. That turns into a global savings of 8.3 Megawatt-hours per day, or about 3000 Megawatt-hours a year. Now take into account that about 25 percent of the are CRTs, and at 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, that's $75,000, a goodly amount of energy and dollars for changing a few color codes." Thats from the site....
it's intresting . it looks a google mirror. what can you get from this site? i see no ads or any link sales. how will you make profit if you make similar site like this?
Hi, I have found few months ago a complete PHP Script from Google web site by Rapidshare. I was very curious and I tried it out on a server and actually it worked with a different domain name. But I was very afraid about it and I deleted my MySQL DataBase. ameran
