San Francisco, CA - January 5, 2007- GreenMaven.com is the world's
most comprehensive Green Search Engine which allows users to search
the Internet for trusted websites and news. Launched in late 2006 by a
team of Green MBA graduates, Green Maven is making quite an impression
having reached a total of 1600 websites since its launch. Most
recently, TIME.COM recognized Green Maven as the number nine best new
website of 2006.
Lee Ettleman, from TIME.COM reports, "Going green has never been
easier than with Green Maven. Editors at the site hand-pick web pages
and news items related to the environmental movement—about everything
from eco-friendly cities to organic socks—that can then be searched
using the Google tool on the homepage or browsed through using a
directory."
The name Green Maven came from applying the growth in the green
economy to Malcom Gladwell's book The Tipping Point. "Green is the
color symbolizing earth, nature, and in a broader sense, life. A
Maven is a trusted expert in a particular field who seeks to pass
knowledge on to others." (Wikipedia.com). There is a growing segment
of the Internet community searching for news, products and services
that match their environmental and social values.
Joey Shepp, founder of Green Maven says, "People want to go green,
but they often don't know where to start or even what questions to
ask. Green Maven makes searching for all things green as easy as
using Google. If you search for socks, you get organic socks. If you
search for cars, you get hybrid cars. Our mission is to make it easy
for mainstream to go green." Green Maven uses Google's recently
released Co-op Search technology to making searching fast, easy, and
relevant.
GreenMaven.com was designed with Open Source software by the leading
sustainable website development firm, Earthsite.net makers of Urth.TV
and GreenFestivals.org.
Green Maven is looking for contributors. Listing in the directory
search engine is free. Once websites are submitted they will be
approved by Green MBA editors.
