    Just another marketing gimmick by Google.

    And it worked because everyone on the net is talking about Google going Black.

    Google is pretty good with the community. What WOULD have been funny is if they pulled the plug on all of their DCs and switched their entire site off.:D

    Hello everyone here is why there doing the black out if we all turn off our lights in our house for one hour we save on energy.

    if we did that every summer when it is like really really hot out we would not have black outs.
    or brown outs

    we would be saving energy....

    Google India page looked as bright as ever. Probably, we have a lot of energy (?) to spend rather than save for the future;)

    Not a chance in the world of that happening. Google is way too greedy. Just think of all the advertising revenue they would loose for shutting down for one day?
