I didn't get any hit for any of my websites. Movements are normal (google dance) as I builded backlinks recently.

Obviously it's not penguin. If it was, you'd see all bunch of threads "my site just dropped, what do I do".

After reading the whole thread, i could only see one common thing. SPAM still works
There's a guy in one of my niches, he has a site which is about a certain niche.
He also has spammed backlinks with anchors like "car insurance" etc etc, completely unrelated to the niche.
He just shot up from page 2, to page 1 3rd position

One of my site got hit from position #36 to somewhere in page 8 . Others are normal ATM . I'll still wait for atleast a week to see the results of the update

It looks like Penguin, but it's broader in its scope so at this stage it appears to be a multi-purpose update encompassing a range of search quality parameters. From webmaster reports we know this update carries global impact.
Link Spam
Some shocking websites have suddenly appeared in Google's results (anchor text manipulation, link networks) so it appears as if the update hasn't rolled out completely. If it has... well then it's a likely failure and it will have to be rolled back much like they did in December 2014.
Localisation
There are still hints of this being localisation related change as well (some websites are now showing double listings classic organic and local organic).
Snippets
Certain results now show longer, very detailed snippets which often disregard meta description. These appear to a limited audience, likely a test.
