Yes, but please don't use guids in urls.
- darkr 8y agowhy?
- SkyBelow 8y agoSeems like your options are: 1. Mutable data (looks nice but can change) 2. Incrementing data (looks nice but can be guessed and measured) 3. Random looking data (immutable and unguessable but ugly) Guids aren't the only option for 3 and some of the others may not look as bad, but it still seems the safest option. Any other compelling reasons to not use guids?
- coldtea 8y agoThere's no reason not to use guids in urls.
- xyzzyz 8y agoOther than them being obnoxiously long, that is.
