Google Image Search: Over 10 Billion Images, 1 Billion Pageviews A Day

Today at Google's search event in San Francisco, Vice President of Search Product and User Experience, Marissa Mayer , announced a revamped of Google Images -- the company's image search product. The service garners more than a billion pageviews a day for Google, Mayer said. Director of Search Products, Ben Ling , then took the stage to show off some of the changes (which we previewed here ). First, he gave some stats. When Google Images launched in 2001, 250 million photos were indexed. By 2005, this was up to a billion images. Now, in 2010, they're over 10 billion images indexed, Ling said.
