Matt didn’t point out the specify the which networks has been effected, but make sure that, those who participated in the unnamed guest blog network will soon see an unnatural link notification in Google Webmaster Tools. This will surely drop the page rank and also a site rank on Google search. Google will continue to target guest blog networks and other link networks in the near future.
The things will be different for those networks which have multiple author blogs, and Google new algorithm will not impacts on these blogs. As this is specially for those blogs and site who rely on guest blogging. Matt have specified there link-building strategy as a Spam technique, and also warned a bloggers not to take a guest blogging unless you are willing to vouch for someone personally or know them well.

[ Smiles ] So, does this mean that I should no longer feature guest bloggers?
You can use guest blog, but the only thing is that, check the reputation of the site and don't spam the post by putting numbers of links on the post
Guest blogs add variety
I agree, but Google prefer for genuine content.
