Welcome to this year's Quake watch thread, as started by me.

Magnitude 5.7 - KYRGYZSTAN
2008 January 01 06:32:33 UTC
Depth 42.6km

PS, when posting images from USGS or other websites to show locations etc, upload them to photobucket since the ones on USGS will go out of date and no longer show the quake after a week.

Main sites useful:
USGS earthquakes

EMSC (European and Mediterranean)

British geological survey

Yellowstone earthquakes

EMSC have it, only slightly higher magnitude and 20 km deeper:
Magnitude Mw 6.2
SOUTHERN GREECE
2008-01-06 at 05:14:18.5 UTC
37.21 N ; 22.64 E
73 km

BBC news have little or no damage occurring:
Greek geologists say the quake - measuring 6.5 - was centred 120km (75 miles) south-west of Athens in the southern Peloponnese region.

But it was very deep, 51km underground, and there were no early reports of casualties or damage.

Cascades subduction zone definitely seems busy at the moment. And that 6.4 near the divergent boundary as well, it definitely looks interesting.
