1st site is doing keyword stuffing. The 2nd is producing spinned content. I imagine the new algorithm is improving the way they determine whether content is automatically generated, or written by a real human, or even written well.

Both those examples are things google noticed and penalized a decade ago. I took this as examples of sites that are being penalized, but examples of other less subtle versions of webspam to illustrate his point... My guess is this new update is irrelevant to those examples other than the two sites those screenshots are from will both be hit. I think this is a puzzle to solve. Figuring which sites those two are and running them through an seo platform to see what they are both doing that is grey area.

  Why run thru a platform? Isn't it obvious just by seeing them?

    I would assume anything obvious to the eye would have been detected by previous algorithms and updates. Matt Cutts is implying there is a NEW update that both those sites will get hit from.

LDA has been used for a while. How much better can that get? It definitely isn't new. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/lda-and-googles-rankings-well-correlated http://www.seomoz.org/blog/lda-and-googles-rankings-well-cor...
