First letter of each paragraph = "SSL TLS FREE".

  Nice catch. I believe everyone who saw the past blog posts can easily guess "the big thing" they are going to announce on Monday. I was thinking "free SSL" since the 2nd/3rd paragraph.

  Time to go grab a cert from startssl.com for free. No more excuses for not having an SSL site.

    CloudFlare will probably supply their own certificates so you won't even need to do that.

      Shouldn't we all be glad with it? HTTPS-MITM-as-a-service... and authorized... awesome!

      Even better! One-click cert gen and installation would be magical! StartSSL is nice because you don't need create a csr. But Cloudflare could make it simpler still, since you've already got domain-level verification through them implicitly. And if you need a better trust chain for your certs, then you can provide your own. This just got even more exciting!

        StartSSL's <keygen> for SSL is good but it's not great - mainly, you have to give your computer access to the SSL key and your server, as opposed to only your server storing the key (and you providing StartSSL a CSR)

        StartSSL is nice because you don't need create a csr. You should though.

    I think CloudFlare "free SSL" is CloudFlare-issued instead of Custom Cert, which I think it is good enough. If their "free SSL" allow free plan customers to upload Custom Cert, that is even awesome.

  How on Earth do people spot things like this? <_<

    The clue was in the text. > Finally, for people who like puzzles we've left a clue to our announcement right here on this page. With a little lateral thinking you may be able to figure it out.

      Well dang, that is a very good clue.
