::::I think y'all are worrying far too early. You've got to remember that the update earlier this month was just a little while ago. I wouldn't start worrying about an update yet.
At [google.com...] it says
'We update our index every four weeks.'
The last update was on March 6th, so if Google is correct, the next dance will start on the third of this month at 7:38 PM PST.
Only if they don't do the dance until after the 3rd will they be late again. If they do it before that day, then the dance will be early.
A board covering just the dance would be dead half the time. A board that covered both the dance and the deepcrawl would be good!
Yeah, when I learn to spell my search terms correctly then I'll be able to tell if the update is really happening ;)....
until then, like many people who forsee and call the update on the basis of (a) missing googlebot, (b) minor index changes and (c) tea-leaves...I should keep my mouth shut!
Whilst I hope that I'm wrong, and that it comes a bit sooner, I think that its at least 5 days away.

Ya, they are busy doing their taxes. I wouldn't be surprised if it were as late as the 16th this month..
LOL, I think people may take it that you have an inside view Brett.
Not such a bad thing as it might even stop this thread dead in its tracks.
Ok, it wont, but we can hope can't we? :)
Does posting in this thread increases post count?
<added> Fortunatly, it does not...</added>
oh my god - has everyone suddenly become sane & calm about update time? Has WW lost its entertainment value?

Nope I think everybody is resigned, they thought the update was going to happend on the 1st and it didn't ... :(

So I'm thinking rather than everyone moving to freakville, a bunch of people went off to finish up some new pages.
After all, no Dance means more time before deepcrawl and that means more time for content.
-- Proud parent of 9 new pages and 12 revised pages
so far this week, with still more ariving before Sunday.
I have two new client sites that should have their first results shown on this update & I feel like a 10 year old on xmas eve with a big tree full of presents i'm desperate to unwrap and i really don't want to get so borred that i start watching the news again - as thats far too depressing!
Today, I am in such a comfortable position that I would rather seeing the dance later than sooner.
Probably other people at WebmasterWorld are in similar positions.
i guess G has just moved the time frame forward a week.
Mixed feelings for this update :)

At [google.com...] it says
'We update our index every four weeks.'
364 days / ( 4 x 7 days ) = 13!
If Google updates its index every four weeks, then there have to be 13+ updates a year.
Looking back at the past Google updates it looks more like Google updates once every month (they are even a little behind). Thus the update won't be due until the 5th I would say.
Not now though :(
I challenge you to come back here in 6 months to a year when your site is well-established and tell us that you don't care much about the update!
Are you saying that you're only a Google joy-popper? Morphine is not really addictive?
