I didn't say you should never see the address bar. You can use the bar to access the location you want, but once you are at your destination, you don't need it anymore
> How will you know what site you're on?
Hacker News has a bright orange bar at the top. Facebook is pretty blue. I think the address bar is the least identifying piece of a website.
> How will you be able to return to that site you liked but don't have the address for since the URL was hidden?
If I forgot to bookmark it, I'll do what I do now: use google
> How will you market and position your site if noone knows the URL?
> How will you do offline marketing if users don't know how to get to the URL you provided?
