I suspect they may be testing out some unique kinds of pages and monitoring user behavior to see how well they do. To me it also seems like they dialed down the authority knob a bit to give other kinds of sites a chance to rank. I had one authority site take a slight hit but a few of my smaller sites have had increased traffic to help even things out a bit.

In one area it is just kind of wild - many of the big sites are out and ezinearticles, tags from Amazon, an obscure article directory, etc. are all ranking - at least for today.
