Somewhere around the world there is probably at least one earthquake each day if not more. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Center keeps track of earthquakes around the world.
According to the USGS there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world -- that's on average 3,561 per day or 2.5 per minute. Only a portion of these are recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean.
For the latest refer to the list USGS keeps for recent earthquakes world-wide for last 7 days in related links section below. USGS also provides a real-time KML feed.
There are also lists for historic earthquakes by year or region.
