There are big URLs, little URLs, long convoluted database generated URLs. I’ve always leaned a bit towards the side of the fence where web site addresses that indicate what their content points to is a bit more useful than long meaningless ones. But it may not even matter. I was struck by this today visiting […]
Is anyone else dizzy at the rate of new web-based tools/services with tinges of RSS, social software, open-ness? It’s a Good Thing, but it seems like there are 3 or 4 or 12 a week.
