I have been following this thread on WebmasterWorld.com lately. The thread is the main source of information I have found discussing the impact the caffeine update Google is currently rolling out will have on the serps. As far as the discussion goes, it looks like the serps at google.com is going regional – at least for the US-results.
If this is the direction Google is taking I am pretty sure many of us will struggle even harder to achieve our goals.
It could be interesting to share data here so we can compare the results when caffeine gets rolled out in Europe and other parts of the world.
How do you think caffeine will impact SEO in general?

Well I think it is a full re write of the, over time, patched up code.
Like W XP -> W 7 but probably more professional.
Nevertheless this will give G the power to move faster and lose a lot of baggage. Inevitable upon rewiriting complex systems some results will shift thus they used the cheap labor of SEO’s to check it – clever -.

where MC explains that the present link graph (or link picture) is determining things one can conclude that this graph in future can be moved on a timeline thus automatically giving fresher or fresher linked content a nudge. Something RL is positioned to support well.
I dont worry about speed as it will only be a deciding factor when all other are equal. Like on a free bar serving just coke – one grabs the first… different if there is a choice of flavours.
For larger complex sites in dense competition cloud computing is a good supplement to speed things up if needed.
I see the business entry used corectly doing well but no major overall changes so far.
