Penguin Update - Official Google Name for New Update

Google has now officially named the new update: The Penguin Update.
Please see this article:

The Penguin Update: Google's Webspam Algorithm Gets Official Name

One comment that I found amusing was:

"Possible reasons for Google naming this update Penguin:

1. Penguins are highly adapted for water life. Google has now sunk good content and let garbage float to the top.

2. Penguins live almost exclusively in Antarctica, a frozen wasteland. Google's search results will soon become a frozen wasteland.

3. Penguins are both black and white. Google wanted to nuke people doing SEO, whether black hat or white hat, at random.

4. Penguins are a flightless bird. Not a reason, just a fact.

5. There is a huge debate about the origin of the word penguin. Huge debate about how this update works.

6. Penguins are known for being great divers. Google's results just took a plunge.

Any others I might be missing?"

    People make good money selling to the rich. But the rich got rich selling to the masses.

      Hi Joe Robinson,
      Thanks - yes I saw the thread in the "Off topic forum" but felt it was more On topic and relevant and wanted to bring it to people's attention.
      I am a relative newbie and this was the first thread I have started.

        Not your fault. Everyone has to learn sometime. If you really want to get into the topic though, head over to the SEO Subforum. They're going nuts over this :rolleyes:.

    Pretty funny. And sadly, pretty true.
