So every link has a "date-create-tag" behind it. I suppose that will also help find Fresh stuff and adjust for bias against old content not receiving recent links.

Does this mean that there is now value based on the age of a link (assuming it was added after any expiration type thingy)? I have a site that immediately after the update I suspected had fallen (from 15 to 23) from weight given in the algo to age of a site. I purchased the site in July, had it indexed with substantially new content in November, and it had steadily moved up as I added links, content, exactly as you would expect. Google shows my backlinks this update increased from 28 to 36 with similar increases below the threshhold. Most of these have the keyword phrase in the title as it is the name of the company.
The only backlinks to the previous site were from DMOZ and Yahoo and I had both of those changed to reflect the new content. It went from a site about a regional wedding book to a regional wedding directory. Of the several sites that moved up, the only backlinks added were from my directory :(. The only reason I can think of for the fall is that age of a site is now important somehow.
