I like the new central resource to keep up to date on marketing direct from Google I just wish Google would get a readability expert on their team. They are using a very thin font with the color of #333 on a #fafafa background and, as per usual, they love their whitespace making the page look silly on my widescreen desktop monitor. I still look forward to going to a single resource instead of the various blogs now.

#333 on #FAFAFA passes every contrast check in existence. I don't mind the thin font, but they render really poorly on some systems, so it's definitely a weird choice.

Your widescreen monitor doesn't increase readable line-length, so it's kind of pointless unless they cram some sidebars into there — which just distracts from the main reading experience. Maybe they could have pulled out the images and made those larger with more screen real estate?
