Actually, that's not even close to the world's "largest" number.  For
example, how about a googolplexiante + 1?  Bingo, larger number.  Or a
googoplexianate! (that is, a googolplexiante factorial).  Way bigger
than a googolplexiante.  Think of it this way.  100 factorial is
already many trillions of times greater than a googol.  100! is
93326215443944152681699238856266700490715968264381621468592963895217599993229915608941463976156518286253697920827223758251185210916864000000000000000000000000

Oops, guess it runs off the side there.  It's got 158 digits to it.
That's just for 100!  That's 100 X 99 X 98 X 97 ... and so on, down to
X 4 X 3 X 2.

So pretty much any number you can name (at least, any integer), can be
immediately outdone simply by adding an exclamation point after it.

Beyond that, I refer you to the indexed tetration notation introduced
by Donald E. Knuth (author of The Art of Computer Programming).
Here's the link:

This notation far surpasses anything like googleplexianate.  The
numbers represented by it have no practical applicartions, since even
the number of possible permutations of all the particles in the known
Universe is smaller than these numbers.  Still, it's fun to play with.
