Green search engine knows what you're looking for

Web 3.0 is still a new concept, but a new search engine called Truevert wants ecogeeks to be the first to benefit from it.

Truevert, as an example of Web 3.0, utilizes smart browsing, where the search engine learns the meaning of words through context to improve searches. Truevert has learned words in a green context so that all searches are done from an environmental point of view. If you're searching for the word "solar," the engine knows you mean solar energy, not just anything having to do with the sun.

Other green search engines exist, but Truevert is different because it's not just scouring green websites; it's using the learned context to search all of the web, allowing for more thorough results.

For those of us who are constantly looking for green information, this could be a real asset and time saver.

    My Vote goes to - www.officialiwant.com Just because I read it on Wikipedia (eyes) that they perfect median color with eye soothing and healing property is not just any shade of green but is close to #2F6533. It worked for me and my friends, Results of less fatigue in a week after using this homepage regularly. Also I feel good that some rainforests might be saved due to me over time. hehe.
