It is estimated that Google processes over one billion searches every day, and runs over 1 million data servers around the world in different data centers. Since its release, and rapid growth, Google has released other related programs such as it’s “Gmail” email service, Google Plus and Google Buzz.
The Google company also leads the development and design of the Android mobile operating system which is used on many phones and by many phone companies such as the Samsung Galaxy and the Motorola Droid. It is said that Google and its chain websites lie in the top 10 visited websites, around the globe.
