Watch WorldCat Grow

For all you crazy cataloger types, and others who just find large numbers interesting you can watch WorldCat grow. OCLC is approaching the one billionth holding. Will you be there when it happens?

08/11 UPDATE: Or not...

"OCLC has temporarily suspended the Web application WorldCat Watch It Grow in advance of crossing the 1-billionth-holding milestone. Information as it usually displays in Watch It Grow suggests a direct correlation between the current Total Holdings in WorldCat number and the displayed bibliographic record; this correlation is false. The bibliographic record that would have displayed with the milestone holding would not necessarily represent the source library for the milestone.
