The other significant benefit is that the key word is written in japanese where URL are restricted to ASCII. Occidental people don't understand this huge problem. Arabs and russian people are facing it too. Imagine a web page in english for english people and you have to write an url in asian or arabe script to reach it! Would you be able to remember such url when seen in an advertisement ? The most surprising is that they didn't solved this problem yet. This situation won't last. Yes urls are death ... in the sense PG gave to this concept.
The distributed information system (DIS) I am currently working on is planned to solve this.
