Could This Be The End Of URL’s

Started by Sid Yadav · 9 months ago

It has been almost a week since I started messing around with the new Chrome Browser from Google at home.  Would love to use it from work, but I have a Mac.  One of the most relevant questions I had to ask myself was, could this be the end of URL’s?
Google refers to the ... Continue reading »

    This looks like an evil plot from Google. Thank God Google Chrome has not really taken off.

    Seems like the end of search engines if this trend continues. It's really scary when we have urls fed to us like that.

    I think they're toast-- they just don't matter anymore. People aren't visiting sites they're visiting pages.

    I must admit, chrome has changed the way I use the web. However, I still use URL's. This could be because I am so used to the using them. Now it just quick-fills them for me. I think google search already put a huge dent in the URL selling business. There is still a whole lot to be said for having a great URL. A Yellow Pages may send you to a hairstylist, but having a place called 'shear perfection' is still much better than having a business called 'haircuts3345333'

    This is a great point. If URL's become a bit obsolete, we may face the same problem ultimately that we do with phone numbers. When you lose a cell phone number, you're not used to having to memorize so oftentimes you're there without any numbers as they have all been memorized by your phone! Imagine not remembering any URL's... and having your computer crash.....

    Then again, Chrome DOES have your web history stored on the web right? Hmmm maybe you're right :)

    I am really amazed when first installed Google chrome, that how it has made address bar a search field, and end of the manual entry of the website. But after a specific period of time, it won't show pages directly. Then we need to open Google homepage again for searching.

    You got a point there (not a dot :) ). Search engines will merely move from being link aggregators to being link suppliers. Browsers will win the war. Look out, here comes Microsoft again.

    well not necessarily, you still need those for connection and communication, but nice analogy by the way.

    Domain names (and URL naming) will still be important, since:
    1. Google uses them (and bold's it) in its search algorithm (example: atlanta.net and atlanta.org come up before Craigslist on a search for "Atlanta")
    2. Domain names are the internet's way of Branding
    3. Internet company's need names and no name is better then a good domain. In fact, I can't imagine breaking that connection.
    4. With all the phone memories, etc - people still remember phone numbers (though I often forget mine).
