Tools You Can Use- Sitemaps
Your Hosting Control Center now contains a Sitemap tool you can use for Search Engine Optimization.
First of all, what is a sitemap? A sitemap informs search engines that individual pages on your site are new or updated and are available for crawling. The sitemap protocol consists of an XML file that includes your Web site URLs and three other optional pieces of information for each page. Sitemaps help ensure all new and difficult to find pages are indexed quickly and completely, and are particularly useful for Web sites that are difficult for search engines to crawl and index effectively.
What we have done is made it easier for you to create a Sitemap through an automated tool under Content in the Hosting Control Center. We supply you with many options including URL exclusion, URL filtering and submission of your Sitemap to Google®

I looked in the HCC but didn't see either the sitemap tool or the Google stuff.
Was this announce a bit early or was this for the folks who pay for hosting?
