Interestingly, I was talking to my Dad (a geologist) about these earlier, and he mentioned something about these being shallow and likely all strike-slip. He figures that given those facts, it's less likely that a Big One is imminent as part of the swarm. He says it's more likely that the built-up energy is being dissipated by all these smaller movements.
