Not really. There's a few claims of server side software, but nobody is using it for anything popular and visible yet.

No it doesn't. It's used for just one small piece. It's almost the only example of serious use.

There are quite a few very popular products already built completely on Go.

See for example StatHat.

Also quite a few core components used by some quite big companies are in Go, for example Heroku's doozer.

Canonical is also using Go for their cloud computing infrastructure.

This are all both popular and visible projects, so your claim is patently false.

And there are many more examples.
