About Google
dancer
During the month, Google sends out robots (spiders)
to crawl the web and archive every website it finds.
These archived websites will be presented in the next
update of the Google index (database). The update process
is initiated every 30 days or so, although on some occasions
there have been more than 30 days between updates.
Now if you've been a keen Google fan you'll know that
they have 3 main www servers online, which are as follows:
www.google.com - The main address, the true homepage
of google.
www2.google.com - Thought to be a test server.
www3.google.com - Thought to be a test server.
Whilst nobody outside of "Google" truly seems
to know the purpose of the www2 & www3 servers,
many people have come to the assumption that they are
test servers. During the update, which takes several
days, the 3 Google servers display different results.
Whilst the results vary from server to server, they
are said to be "dancing", hence the name "Google
Dance".
The www2 & www3 servers are the ones most closely
observed during the dance, however I have recently found
the addresses to all 10 of the Google Datacenters!!
I believe that watching this will provide for a slight
enhancement in the detection of the "Google Dance"..
My tool is the only tool (that I know of) to provide
the 10 datacenters option. |
