Open Site Explorer Update

What is taking OSE so long to update?

The update schedule said the next update was going to be on Dec 28th.
If you open OSE it says "Last Index Update: November 28th, 2011"

Today in January 1st. Any thoughts as to why the delay?

Thanks!

They changed that since I looked the other night. December 28th has stuck in my head like a brick.
It will really be cool if they could ever build a "real time" backlink checker.

I think what you saw was todays date highlited, because it has been the 4th Jan for a few weeks at least.

It is generally around every quarter or 3 months from my memory. Perhaps try getting SEO Moz staff to answer this.

We generally update the Linkscape index once a month. There were two releases in November (one at the very end), and then there will be one this week. It's a little later than usual because of the downtime for the holidays. The Calendar that Jgower shared will always show you the upcoming release date and the previous release dates.
