I know what you’re thinking. “There’s Blackle and GoodSearch, but one is powered by Google and one by Yahoo! and neither donates to charities and saves energy!” Well there is a new player in town and they are bringing you the great search features of Google coupled with energy efficiency and free donations.
Who is it you ask? It’s Bellzar.
Bellzar launched on June 30th and integrates the power of a custom Google search, black background for saving energy and revenue sharing. Right now, 50% of their revenue goes to charitable donations, but they hope to increase this number as search traffic through Bellzar.com grows.
Sounds fantastic doesn’t it? So, what does Bellzar actually mean and what do they stand for? In their words;
“To begin with, the ‘Bell’ is often seen as a symbol of liberty, and in this case, we wanted to show the liberty and change that could be so easily brought to the world. In Norway, the name ‘Zar’ means a person riding with destiny, just as anyone can make a better destiny for the world we live in, one where giving to charity and causes that can change the world, and saving energy to create a cleaner, healthier planet, is truly as simple as searching the Web.”
In essence, Bellzar combines our freedom of liberty with a destiny that we choose. And it directly correlates with the site’s motto of giving back. By using less energy with each search and supporting nonprofits, Bellzar gives back to mother nature and our society. It is that same simple model of using technology to reach all ends of the Earth that is becoming more common. And just like Better The World and Everywun, Bellzar makes it easy to not only make a difference by using our computer from home or work, but make that difference every single day, effortlessly.
Hope to see you Bellzar-ing!
P.S. Bellzar is looking to partner with more nonprofits to share the wealth. If you think you would be a good match, contact them at BellzarSearch [at] yahoo [dot] com or via @Bellzar on Twitter.
