Pretty URL's Should Also Be Consistent
Simon Willison on pretty URL’s. Simon is so good at pointing out common sense stuff that for whatever reason hasn’t yet entered the realm of “common sense.”
His point in the above is that with all the fancy aggregators out there in the world, it’s important to not only have pretty URL’s, but also to have consistent URL’s. If you want to show just how del.icio.us your site is, it makes sense to have consistent URL’s, so that http://whatever.com/index.php and http://whatever.com/ don’t split up your tags.
Again…totally common sense…now that Simon has said it.
