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.

Dancing".
