These would be less than convenient to type, but perhaps as we go more and more towards a non-typing web where a walled-garden start page and predefined links lead to the most popular sites with a click, these URLs will become fashionable. I think if so, this will herald the impending death of the human-read and typed URL in favor of start page links and search results.
- JadeNB 7y ago> as we go more and more towards a non-typing web where a walled-garden start page and predefined links lead to the most popular sites with a click Just a reminder that this is backwards, not forwards: this was my first experience of the Internet, through AOL, and I imagine I'm not the only one.
- kick 7y agoThere are more mobile users than there are desktop users, and for them it's just the same to type.
- htfu 7y agoHow is switch to emoji input -> press search box -> start typing apple -> press apple symbol and so on “just the same” as app<CR>?
- kick 7y agoYou don't have to search. Just hit the apple emoji. If you use it frequently, it'll probably be on the front. If not, it takes two seconds to hit the category it's in and then press it.
- htfu 7y agoBecause apple happens to start with an a. Ok fine, specifically for apple.com it's almost the same. But that's not really the point I was arguing.
