Many browsers have two text input boxes.
In more than a few places, a Google search string (or the browser's search input box) is the already the preferred contact path; not the URL.
What might replace URL-based navigation more widely, I don't know. We went from ARPA not all that long ago to the Big Seven to however many dozens of TLDs we have now. We'll certainly find out, as the URLs are increasingly hideous, and we're just a few years into this current naming structure.
There are certainly potential business opportunities here, too. Approaches to better solve a distributed planetary-scale address book than "just" based on a domain name, and better than a brute-force search engine.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoYes, I've wanted an "authoritative" directory of web pages for some time. Every since Yahoo gave up on it, I've had to learn clever ways to tease the right pages out of google. How about a search engine that ALWAYS returns the canonical page for any techinical/commercial/copyright/patented term FIRST! Instead of somebody's dog named "rfq" or a car for sale by a gal from Concordance, OR.
