Green Blackle?

Posted on July 25, 2008 by Jennie Huss.

Today I was looking at internet news and found this article about a Google search engine that has a black background. It’s called Blackle.  As I read about how it saves so much energy I couldn't help but think "Why hasn't Google changed to this?"  Such a small step on millions of computers could help out the environment a lot. 

After checking out the site I was slightly disappointed, as the search engine only shows links.  It didn't have the added convenience of videos, images, shopping- and all the other things that are expected to be within a click.  This is probably the main reason for not using this energy efficient Web site.

However, as I continued reading and searched for further information on the subject, the positive results were limited to certain types of screens. In fact, with some types of screens, the black background uses even more energy than the white screen.  Apparently the answer to being energy efficient isn’t as easy as using a search engine with a black background.

With the popular trend towards "going green" businesses and individuals are re-vitalizing the way things are done in favor of the environment.  For some this could mean steps as small as getting more energy efficient light bulbs, while others will conduct a full overhaul--perhaps going paperless, installing solar panels or other more dramatic energy-conscious steps.

The idea that helping the environment involves sacrifice is a misconception. The choice to go green, personally or with a business, does not have to be a dramatic change in lifestyle.  It can be simple changes to everyday life such as reusing bags, deciding to reuse towels before washing them, or carpooling to work.  With these miniscule steps, anyone can make a positive impact on the environment.

Let's Get Personal

Posted on March 26, 2007 by Vinnie Lacey.

Custom publishing is what we do here at BeTuitive, so its no surprise custom tools for the internet get our motors running. Customization, especially in the information-bombarded electronic arena, can transform a relatively detached experience (cyberspace floating) into a personal one (still floating, but with purpose).  It's part of the same brainstorming strategy we use in our B2B publications to determine what kind of content a company's readers will find attract and actually useful. And useful can certainly be a commodity on the internet these days.

That's why I found today's Lifehacker posting quite helpful.  As far as customizing my own internet experience, I have been sorely lacking in the most intimate area: my homepage; instead relying on several different websites for, admittedly, very small, targeted bits of information.  If you need some help on the wealth of homepage choices out there, Rick Broida provides you with a good place to start getting personal.

Simple and Balanced for Perfection

Posted on March 21, 2007 by Kevin G.

I find that being organized and well-balanced is one of the best strategies to take to ensure a productive and satisfying work week.

Often times the week starts out as planned as we manage tasks and then mid-way through we find ourselves pulled in every direction to please the whole world.  Well, so it seems.

With custom publishing, it’s important to keep a balanced and fresh feel with each issue.  If you feel the content is too sales oriented, try adding a cartoon or survey to engage your audience.  If the publication engages the reader but fails to draw measurable results, try adding a sales incentive or response mechanism to monitor reception beyond open and click performance.

There are many different ways to balance the perfect publication.  By keeping it simple and direct its hard to leave not satisfied with your results.
