Two days ago Google announced that it was in awe of how big the Internet has become with the revelation that their systems had successfully indexed OVER One Trillian links - even after removing duplicate content links out of their systems !!!!!

Now lets just grab a sense of how much information that really is …. as we don’t even consider the huge task Google manage in collating that amount of information into their page rank graph. We expect to see a list of weblinks most suited to what we are searching for and we want it fast !

One Trillion is 1,000,000,000,000 links ! What is even more staggering, is the Internet is growing exponentially with a few Billion new links being added every single day. It has taken Google eight years to go from a Billion links to 1 Trillion links - but at current growth rates Google will see 2 Trillion within two more years.
