"Towards Next Generation URLs" is a new article by Thomas Powell, noted
author of Web Design: The Complete Reference, and Port80's own COO Joe
Lima. 

You should check out their take on the bleak future of "dirty URLs" --
ones that are difficult to type, remember and preserve.

The article analyzes and provides:

- Common uses of URLs that frustrate users and developers alike
- Rationale for "clean URLs" to enhance security, usability and
maintainability of Web sites and Web-based applications
- Straightforward tips and technologies to create cleaned URLs that are
short, understandable and devoid of implementation details

Best,
Chris @ Port80
