Since Google launched their 'recently active' content filter, how can someone make sure that Google recognizes their content as "fresh" content? might be a great way to start ranking higher for searches if someone can figure out how to manipulate this... (unless Google bases this on when googlebot first indexed the page)
In my opinion fresh information, fresh tips are better then a 5 year old tutorial. eg: if I am looking for "windows setup" it's better to show up pages that describes how to setup Vista and XP rather then windows 98...
Very interesting, though i dont think it will have a huge effect, just another one of the 200+ criteria Big G uses.
