the image one should have is of an elephant stomping around in a tutu on an ocean of ants.
perhaps webmastes now know what if feels like to be in a martini shaker, every now and then google give it a vigorous shake to make sure nobody is clinging to the sides.
I vote for "EarthQuake" or "Quake".
Its definitely got to be something sudden -- violent -- and devastating.

2odd...
Back late last spring, it all changed and there was no more dance, just the "rolling update", permanent everflux. Now, we're into a whole new realm of activity with florida... who knows if we're back to regular updates or just the occasional massive algo change, like now, then rolling updates again.
Google updates are quakes not dances. The more google quakes the more it heads towards self destruction facing the inevitable truth that a link based serp strategy is subject to manipulation and hence self defeating.
You can not measure something without interfering with it... now who was it that said that again?
I like the term google quake. I am going to start using it.
The end is near, you just never know for who lol.

As is every other possible SERP ranking strategy subject to manipulation.
The old Googledance ended with Dominic. Before that, for a couple of years, the dance was the shuffling of serps through the datacentres as the update happened. It was predictable, and fun...... you'd see the pages you'd got online, just in time for the last deepcrawl, appear bouncing in and out on google.com, (unless you knew to check the different datacentres... then you'd see it move across them over a few days).
Ahhh...
google update - archaic term
It's not as romantic as Stefan described it but it is an 'old-fashioned' update:
- *minor* ranking shifts ;)
- backlinks updated & dancing
- PR updated & dancing
It's not a beautiful waltz but a mad stage dive. I'm missing those old rolling updates...
I don't think that the continuous update era is over. My guess is that it is just every now and then Google has to do a traditional update to keep things working smooth.
For many sites, including mine, there has been no update... the freshtags and crawling pattern is the exact same as it was last week. There will probably be no deepcrawl, just the rolling update...
Imho, it shouldn't be update Florida, it should be Algo-change Florida.
<added>What the hec, call it an update... :-) </added>
Since everytime it happens, it create the longested thread of all google forums.

I believe it was a dude named Heisenberg. He was a man of principles.
What he actually said was "The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa."
Although this relation can be expressed precisely in mathematical terms it is not so easy to express in simple words. One way to think about it is to imagine measuring the properties of a particle such as its mass, its velocity, and its position simultaneously. Heisenberg's uncertainty relation shows that the more precisely you measure one the less accurately you can know the others. This is because whenever you make a measurement you must disturb the system. In order to know something is there you must kind of bump into it in some way! It really only matters at the atomic level in the quantum mechanical world :)
How about Google Thread Creator.

No doubt. Everytime this happens I have to walk away from the message boards alot more often than usual
