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.

In any event, I hope that most of you can add this to your new years celebration. If not, I wouldn’t fret, see our explanation of Toolbar PageRank vs. real PageRank.
