Google went black

[soybean]

http://www.google.com/ now has a black background.  What do you think of it?

I don't like it, but this is only for today....Save Energy Day, or whatever it is.

Ah, I see.  Now, it makes sense.

How did you vote friend?

I didn't vote.  Your choices for answers were a little too limited.   

Overall, I think Google is very clever with their graphics, you know, all the creative variations of the Google image they use on holidays, etc.

Google is still white for me.....

It was only black for a short time on Saturday, the 29th, in recognition of Earth Hour.  When I first saw it, I didn't realize they were doing it for that reason.  That's when I started this thread.

ah. I see. I guess I should have checked the date first. I thought it was an April Fools thing...

They are not actually google creations FYI. The vast majority are created by students and competition entries from the public.

Google sends ads to public schools about a theme and colour scheme etc and the winner recieves a gift voucher and there image is used on the google home page.
