Google updates toolbar PageRank for New Years 2010

Is anyone still using Google's PageRank? It's an important update for publishers or those who love to see and follow the link analysis algorithm. Google assigns a numeric weighting from 0-10 for each webpage. Yeah, sometimes people love figures!

To kick off the 2010, Google is currently exporting the PageRank values to the Google Toolbar. Yes, there are major reports of a Google Toolbar PageRank update taking place right now.

This may become a New Years tradition for Google. Last year, Google pushed out a PageRank update for New Years 2009. I wonder why they make the push right before New Years? Maybe because it is slower for Googlers and less going on? I am not sure.
