Gravitywell in the Wyvern Christmas Cracker 10k - Race Report

Green hosting at Gravitywell
Our business requires electricity of course and so it's also our responsibility to try to minimise its use. Aside from simply ensuring all workstations are turned off when not in use, we're looking at ways to further minimise our environmental impact.
As part of our commitment to energy efficiency we're proud to say that our server partners are the UK's first Carbon Neutral Web host. The small carbon footprint now left by our servers is offset by funded projects such as methane capture in the Ruhr.
We hope to announce further positive changes in the near future.
Gravitywell at (not in) the Bath Half Marathon

Gravitywell has developed the new website for Bath Half and we'll be adding new features soon.

Google search NOT completely organic?
There is currently a worrying investigation into Google hard-coding search results in favour of its own services. If this is true then there are serious repercussions for our trust in the company that claims its search results are not touched by human hands.
