April 4, 2007—TIME.com has listed search engine GreenMaven.com in its Top Ten List of Best New Web sites of 2006. GreenMaven.com is a new, comprehensive “green search engine” that allows users to search the Internet for trusted Web sites and news related to environmental and social values.
Green Maven uses Google’s recently released Co-op Search technology to make searching fast, easy, and relevant.
Launched in late 2006 by a team of Green MBA graduates, Green Maven has reached a total of 5,000 Web sites since its launch. GreenMaven was designed with Open Source software by sustainable Web site development firm Earthsite.net, developers of Urth.tv and GreenFestivals.org.
Visitors can search on GreenMaven.com, or they can take the green Web with them by installing a browser plug-in. Businesses who want their sites included in the green search engine can submit their URLs to Green Maven’s team of editors for approval.
GreenMaven.com founders say they are responding to a growing segment of the Internet community searching for news, products, and services that match their environmental and social values, and making it easy to “go green.”
