Weird.

1 trillion unique web pages.  I am skeptical.  That's 166 pages per 
person on earth.  Or, if we assume there are 1 billion people online, 
that's 1,000 pages for every person online.  I don't know about you,
but 
I haven't written 1,000 web pages yet.

If they are data-driven pages, that's interesting and all, but 
"counting" pages from a data-driven site is a bit silly.  Even the
blog 
post acknowledges this, by talking about how a calendar site has, 
theoretically, an infinite number of pages.
