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.

with "Google Dancing".
