On Tuesday, I covered signs up an upcoming update touching down that morning, as well as some Panda signals hitting around October 14th.

Well, the chatter in the community over the past few days, starting around October 20th throughout October 21st and this morning, have been pretty high. And all the automated tracking tools show these signs as well. So besides the chatter I reported on October 20th, let me share screen shots from the tools.

Now, a lot of these dates depends on the crawl of these tools, when they run, what they analyze, etc. But between the chatter and all these tools lighting up in the past few days, there seems to have been an update of some sorts.

I did ask Google, I have not heard anything on the record about this.

Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.

Update: Google said they likely won't confirm this.
