This news shocked me a little when I first read about it on Cnet.
Who'd imagine that Google serves approx. 10 million websites? That's about 10% of the public web space!
The other traditionally dominant web servers are Apache and Microsoft's IIS, which have been around since since the dawn of time. Have a look at the data below.

The most alarming aspect of the data illustrates Google's astounding growth, not only in search space but also almost every other imaginable aspect of computing today. And they are doing ridiculously well. For example, Google Australia commands almost 90% of the search market here. "Here" being Australia Down Under.
The Google brand is now voted the most valuable brand, topling Microsoft, IBM, Intel and Coca-Cola.
The data shows another interesting trend, which is the exponential growth of the number of websites available on the web. Of course, a lot of the recent growth can be attributed to Web 2.0 and social media (Google's Blogger is an extremely popular service, I use it!) as well as websites that are bot-generated, in other words the websites are automatically created by computers and not humans.
These are trends likely to continue into the near future.
