Hi,
Today I received a request about SEO recommendations in your SharePoint deployment. Well you should care about it always, no matter if it is SharePoint or not (although it would be better :)) In case you came from other dimension, search is the technology behind everything.
Just to the spec, I wanted to share that information:
"I would start caring about the content (SEO is content quality), and resolve features SharePoint doesn't have. You have a good pointer at http://blog.mastykarz.nl/tag/seo/ , http://blogs.technet.com/vedant/archive/2009/06/24/search-engine-optimization-in-sharepoint.aspx or http://www.thesug.org/Blogs/sharepointseo/default.aspx
On the other hand I would work with tools as IIS SEO Toolkit to monitor the site."
Finally it is recommended to check third partner solutions and any generic SEO recommendations

Bye!
Yesterday I faced a problem with a PoC I did some months ago. I added a ratings feature to SharePoint 2007 Lists using JQuery.
There were a conflict caused by sp.js and jquery.js using prototype methods. I just followed the recomendations to avoid it.
As I had put everything in my document ready area, I just reassigned JQuery, and use the new variable at that level:
var $j = jQuery;
$j(document).ready(function(){ $j('div.rating').rating();});
This should remind us to double check our client code in SharePoint 2007 migration scenarios.
Do you remember my Astoria Blog Publishing post? well now you can check that my crystal ball is up and running!
Cool to see that any SharePoint Server 2010 acts as a Data Services Server
So moving forward that vision would look like this, after installing latest ADO.NET Data Services in your SharePoint 2010 sandbox, imagine you create a blog site /carloshm, then you will be able to get the categories at /carloshm/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/Categories. That simple.
