Are traditional web URLs becoming obsolete? With increasingly dynamic content (that if not making content impossible to relocate, at least makes it difficult to remember the address), disappearing content from small servers or being moved within a site, would it not make more sense to index pages by how you found them. I’ve already seen this take hold in some company’s internal documentation, e.g.:
http://www.companywebsite.com -> Human Resources -> Payroll -> Direct Deposit
to describe a series of links to click.
Often, instead of bookmarking a page or sending a link to a friend, I’ll try to tell them how I got there, e.g:
“Google for ‘belkin wireless solder’ and look on the first page of results to find that article about attaching an external antenna to a Belkin device with a non-removable antenna.
Maybe there should be some kind of standard nomenclature for these sort of descriptions. Would it be possible for a browser to interpret these instructions?
