Google Nuggets

Is it just me, or are the folks at Google slowly beginning to share the odd golden nugget here and there?  
Following on from Google's formal admission last year about meta keywords not being considered any longer (something SEO geeks suspected for a long time), their Google Report Card, released at the beginning of March, admits that the meta description is also off the table.  

Another recent revelation was from Google's Matt Cutts confirming that 301 redirects can leak link juice.

Suddenly I have a lot more work to do!

p.s. Yes, I have bloggers' guilt for not posting since October - apologies to my legion of 2 fans!
