Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

This was a sad weekend - we lost a true brilliant mind in the SEO industry, someone who has advanced the industry leaps and bounds and someone who was always smiling - Russ Jones passed away. Google did share a detailed document on how it handles HTTP status codes and network and DNS issues. Google spoke about using accented words in your content. Google AdSense link units seem to be officially gone. And much more. RIP Russ Jones.
