Many Atlanta SEO services leave loose ends such as dead links or don’t produce enough one way links to get your webpage ranked properly.

without telling you that it gets sent in the clear :

I was pretty encouraged to see that – it’s consistent with the good experience I’ve had with Echofon and its variants.

Echofon Pro on my iPhone worked not long before, but that may have been before the hacked DNS records propagated to the relevant local DNS caching server. I’d be surprised if the desktop version handled authentication much differently than the iPhone version.

It’d be easy enough to test. m0n0wall and pfSense both make it easy to setup your own DNS records for local use, overriding whatever is actually in DNS.

Regardless, I’m going to change my password just as soon as their web login stops returning a ’503′ after successful auth. :)

They aren’t network resolvable by nature, though.

Seems IP issue fix underway with the advent of the domain parameter.

I guess you mean registerprocedure should be optional since it is empty on HTTP Post. Makes sense. No big deal.

lastly, I believe there has been talk on PSHB list about the order of the hub elements in the document actually implicitly stating their priority.

What do you think of that?

I haven’t yet heard anyone suggest improvements to rssCloud that would affect this part of the spec, but actually I can think of two:

1. The “registerProcedure” attribute should be optional.
2. If multiple cloud elements are allowed for a single feed, each could have an optional “priority” int attribute to say, “This one is primary, this one is backup.” 10, 20, 30, etc.

Neither seem strictly necessary though. Not as important as fixing the “same-IP” issue, which I was happy to hear on the BadHair.us podcast Dave agrees is worth consideration.
