Google Caffeine Update: How effective it’s going to be?

Jude Festus    Google    

Finally the much awaited Google Caffeine is live.

As per Google the new Caffeine update will provide 50 percent fresher results for web searches.

Which means Google has to craw and index the web pages very frequently than the previous algorithms. So the frequency of updates and the volume of the data will be more, which throws some very interesting stats:

• Every second Caffeine processes hundreds of thousands of pages in parallel -if this were a pile of paper it would grow three miles taller every second
• Caffeine takes up nearly 100 million gigabytes of storage in one database and adds new information at a rate of hundreds of thousands of gigabytes per day
• You would need 625,000 of the largest iPods to store that much information; if these were stacked end-to-end they would go for more than 40 miles

This new update also throws some interesting questions:

• Will Content spammers exploit this opportunity?
• Will Google pay more attention to the “new” result than the “relevant” result in future?

Time will answer these questions. Let’s wait and watch..
