If you follow SEO it would have been difficult to miss the recent Matt Cutts video talking about a new Penguin update, which they say we can expect within a few weeks.
Every time this guy mentions a Penguin or Panda update the SEO blogs and forums light up. Everyone tries to get the inside scoop, and some make predictions of what to expect.
