Google accounts for 56% of all searches on the internet according to the online research firm Comscore. In Britain, Google is visited more than any other website with 28.6m unique users in September - reaching 89% of all UK internet users.

Google has also become very interested in the potential of mobile phones as devices for accessing the internet and is working on its own mobile phone software and even its own devices. Details of the Gphone - as the project has become known, in imitation of Apple’s iPhone - are expected to be released this month .

Google is understood to have talked with a number of Asian mobile phone makers about the possibility of putting its own software on to a new generation of internet-enabled mobile phones. It is also working with a number of companies, including satellite broadcaster BSkyB, about the potential of advertising on mobile phones.

Google is even examining becoming directly involved in the mobile phone industry by buying a mobile phone spectrum in the US and potentially the UK which it could use to run its own mobile services.

This will be a good initial check to get a vibe for just how friendly and excitable everyone will be about the week ahead. Hopefully to spot some of the Brightoninan’s that will also be there.
