When was the last time you read a URL aloud or typed it in?
- arthurcolle 5y agoa minute ago? what an outrageous question
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoI think many people Google “gmail” and click the link instead of memorizing URLs
- Firehawke 5y agoEven then you're going to be hitting up DNS to turn "www.gmail.com" into an IP address.
- edoceo 5y agoThen an HTTP redirect to mail.google.com
- teitoklien 5y agoAnd maybe to accounts.google.com too , if you’re not signed in
- oneplane 5y agoThe last 100 times were in the past few hours, roughly. Are you assuming nobody uses FQDNs or URLs anymore? Better yet, are you assuming only humans use those?
- freshpots 5y agoYou were both savage and self-deprecating, well done!
- paledot 5y agoI dictated the domain for our home automation system to our early-20s cleaner ("dictionaryword dot dictionaryword"), and after a few minutes she asked me "what do you usually Google to get there?".
