PigeonRankâ„¢, The technology behind Google’s Great Success

The following top secret technology description has been sourced directly from the Google [ http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html
].

The technology behind Google’s great results 

As a Google user, you’re familiar with the speed and accuracy of a Google search. How exactly does Google manage to find the right results for every query as quickly
as it does? The heart of Google’s search technology is PigeonRankâ„¢, a system for ranking web pages developed by Google founders
Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford
University.

Pigeon Rank.

Building upon the breakthrough work of B. F.
Skinner, Page and Brin reasoned that low cost pigeon clusters (PCs) could be used to compute the relative value of web pages faster than human editors or machine-based
algorithms. And while Google has dozens of engineers working to improve every aspect of our service on a daily basis, PigeonRank continues to provide the basis for all
of our web search tools.

Why Google’s patented PigeonRankâ„¢ works so well

PigeonRank’s success relies primarily on the superior trainability of the domestic
pigeon (Columba livia) and its unique capacity to recognize objects regardless of spatial
orientation. The common gray pigeon can easily distinguish among items displaying only the minutest differences, an ability that enables it to select relevant web
sites from among thousands of similar pages.
